Fetal fibronectin testing and pregnancy outcomes among Texas Medicaid patients at risk for preterm birth.

CONCLUSIONS: Frequency of fFN testing was low in Texas Medicaid enrollees with symptomatic PTL. Patients with fFN testing had longer gestation periods and were less likely to deliver within ≤3 days of a hospital/ED encounter for PTL. These results support the role of fFN in screening for risk for sPTB among women with symptomatic PTL. PMID: 29297659 [PubMed - in process]
