What is Elastase Levels in Preterm vs Normal Pregnancy about?

The document summarizes a study that examined the difference in elastase concentration in the cervical canal between pregnancies threatened by preterm labor and normal pregnancies. The study found the mean elastase concentration was significantly higher in those threatened by preterm labor (1.72 ng/mL) compared to normal pregnancies (0.52 ng/mL). A cutoff value of 0.52 ng/mL predicted threatened preterm labor with 87.5% sensitivity and 52.9% specificity. Elastase is involved in softening and dilating the ce
