Quantitative fetal fibronectin for prediction of preterm birth in asymptomatic twin pregnancy

ConclusionsQuantitative fetal fibronectin measured from 22 to 27+6 weeks of gestation accurately predicts spontaneous preterm birth at<30 weeks of gestation. Tests undertaken earlier are of limited value. Consideration of cervical length, or prior history in addition to quantitative fetal fibronectin strengthens prediction.
