Project description:Maternal whole blood colected longitudinally were profiled using Affymetrix Human Transcriptome Arrays to evaluate prediction of gestational age in normal and complicated pregnancies and predict preterm birth. LMP is the date at the last menstrual period. Oper_LMP is the date at the last menstrual period with eventual adjustment based on ultrasound determination. Gestational age (GA) (weeks) is defined as (Date at sample - Oper_LMP)/7. For control pregnancies, SubGroup defines those with spontaneous labor at term (TL) as opposed with those delivered by cesarean section (TNL). Train is 1 if the sample was used in sub-challenge 1 in the training set as opposed to test set (0). D2 is 1 if the sample was used in the 2 interval prediction scenario, and if yes, it was assigned to the interval given by column D2Interval. D3 is 1 if the sample was used in the 3 interval prediction scenario, and if yes, it was assigned to the interval given by column D3Interval. DiagnosisGA is the gestational age at diagnosis with any disease indicated by the Group variable, and it is set to NA for normal pregnancies.

Project description:Maternal plasma samples collected longitudinally from pregnant women were profiled using SomaLogic aptamer-based assays in women with normal pregnancy and those who delivered preterm. DiagnosisGA is the gestational age at diagnosis with any disease indicated by the Group variable, and it is set to NA for normal pregnancies. In the Group variable, sPTD stands for spontaneous preterm delivery, and PPROM for preterm premature rupture of membranes. Additional longitudinal samples of the controls, including the two samples included herein, are also available and described in PMID: 28738067.

Project description:Despite decades of attempts to link infectious agents to preterm birth, an exact causative microbe or community of microbes remains elusive. Nonculture 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing suggests important racial differences and pregnancy specific changes in the vaginal microbial communities. A recent study examining the association of the vaginal microbiome and preterm birth documented important findings but was performed in a predominantly white cohort. Given the important racial differences in bacterial communities within the vagina as well as persistent racial disparities in preterm birth, it is important to examine cohorts with varied demographic compositions.To characterize vaginal microbial community characteristics in a large, predominantly African-American, longitudinal cohort of pregnant women and test whether particular vaginal microbial community characteristics are associated with the risk for subsequent preterm birth.This is a nested case-control study within a prospective cohort study of women with singleton pregnancies, not on supplemental progesterone, and without cervical cerclage in situ. Serial mid-vaginal swabs were obtained by speculum exam at their routine prenatal visits. Sequencing of the V1V3 region of the 16S rRNA gene was performed on the Roche 454 platform. Alpha diversity community characteristics including richness, Shannon diversity, and evenness as well as beta diversity metrics including Bray Curtis Dissimilarity and specific taxon abundance were compared longitudinally in women who delivered preterm to those who delivered at term.A total of 77 subjects contributed 149 vaginal swabs longitudinally across pregnancy. Participants were predominantly African-American (69%) and had a preterm birth rate of 31%. In subjects with subsequent term delivery, the vaginal microbiome demonstrated stable community richness and Shannon diversity, whereas subjects with subsequent preterm delivery had significantly decreased vaginal richness, diversity, and evenness during pregnancy (P < .01). This change occurred between the first and second trimesters. Within-subject comparisons across pregnancy showed that preterm birth is associated with increased vaginal microbiome instability compared to term birth. No distinct taxa were associated with preterm birth.In a predominantly African-American population, a significant decrease of vaginal microbial community richness and diversity is associated with preterm birth. The timing of this suppression appears early in pregnancy, between the first and second trimesters, suggesting that early gestation may be an ecologically important time for events that ordain subsequent term and preterm birth outcomes.

Project description:Severe preeclampsia is accompanied by many complications, which is extremely harmful to pregnant women and fetuses. However, in the classification of preterm birth, it is generally divided into spontaneous preterm birth and therapeutic preterm birth, and insufficient attention has been paid to preterm birth in severe preeclampsia. This article aims to explore the clinical difference between preterm birth in severe preeclampsia and spontaneous preterm birth. In the experiment, this paper selected pregnant women who delivered and were treated in a hospital from April 2010 to April 2020 as cases. In terms of grouping, not only are they divided into severe eclampsia group (observation group 1), spontaneous preterm birth group (observation group 2), and general delivery group (control group) according to the cause of premature birth, but also according to the gestational age of severe eclampsia onset, preterm weeks, and other groups. Not only the clinical difference between severe preeclampsia preterm birth and spontaneous preterm birth was compared horizontally, but also the factors affecting the complications of preterm pregnant women, perinatal asphyxia rate, and mortality were longitudinally analyzed. The experimental results in this paper showed that there were significant differences in maternal complications and neonatal mortality between the severe preeclampsia preterm group and the spontaneous preterm group (P < 0.05). In addition, the severe preeclampsia preterm birth group was more harmful than the spontaneous preterm birth group. The complication rate of the severe preeclampsia preterm birth group was 10% higher than that of the spontaneous preterm birth group, and the neonatal mortality rate was 2% higher.

Project description:To assess whether women with a history of preterm birth, independent on the presence of prelabour rupture of the membranes (PROM) and growth deviation of the newborn, are more likely to develop preeclampsia with preterm or preterm birth in a subsequent pregnancy.We conducted a population-based cohort study, based on Medical Birth Registry of Norway between 1967 and 2012, including 742,980 women with singleton pregnancies who were followed up from their 1st to 2nd pregnancy. In the analyses we included 712,511 women after excluding 30,469 women with preeclampsia in the first pregnancy.After preterm birth without preeclampsia in the first pregnancy, the risk of preterm preeclampsia in the second pregnancy was 4-7 fold higher than after term birth (odds ratios 3.5; 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.0-4.0 to 6.5; 95% CI 5.1-8.2). The risk of term preeclampsia in the pregnancy following a preterm birth was 2-3 times higher than after term birth (odds ratios 1.6; 95% CI 1.5-1.8 to 2.6; 95% CI 2.0-3.4). After spontaneous non-PROM preterm birth and preterm PROM, the risk of preterm preeclampsia was 3.3-3.6 fold higher than after spontaneous term birth. Corresponding risks of term preeclampsia was 1.6-1.8 fold higher. No significant time trends were found in the effect of spontaneous preterm birth in the first pregnancy on preterm or term preeclampsia in the second pregnancy.The results suggest that preterm birth, regardless of the presence of PROM, and preeclampsia share pathophysiologic mechanisms. These mechanisms may cause preterm birth in one pregnancy and preeclampsia in a subsequent pregnancy in the same woman. The association was particularly evident with preterm preeclampsia.

Project description:Threatened preterm labour (TPTL) is the most common condition that requires hospitalisation during pregnancy. Most of these symptomatic women continue their pregnancies to term while only an estimated 5% will deliver a premature baby within ten days. Peripheral blood leukocytes are exposed to “activating signals” from reproductive tissues and may indicate the impending onset of labour. Objectives: 1) To investigate differential leukocyte gene expression in women with TPTL; and 2) to develop a gene signature to predict preterm birth (PTB) within 48 hours in symptomatic women. Design, Setting and Participants: Women clinically diagnosed with TPTL were recruited. Peripheral blood was obtained at point of admission prior to medical treatments. mRNA was extracted and microarrays (Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0) were utilised to determine differential gene expressions between women who did (n=48) and did not (n=106) have a preterm delivery within 48 hours of hospital admission. Results: There were 394 significantly differentially expressed genes (FDR<0.05, Limma); 22 out of 30 genes chosen for qRT-PCR validation were differentially expressed (p<0.05). Total 154; 48 delivered within 48 hours of hospital admission; 106 did not deliver within 48 hours
