20.500.12556/DiRROS-29421 Predicting early preterm delivery and late fetal growth restriction by TNFα Elektronski vir We evaluated tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) in the triage of patients with suspected preterm delivery (PTD), preeclampsia (PE), fetal growth restriction (FGR), and PE+FGR. The study included 125 pregnant women attending high-risk pregnancy clinics for triage of pregnancy complications. There were 31 pure PE cases, 42 cases of PE combined with FGR, 16 pure FGR cases, 15 PTD cases, and 21 term normal delivery controls. Maternal serum TNFα was determined by immune-diagnostic testing. UtA-PI was measured by Doppler sonography. Demographic, medical and pregnancy history, and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were extracted from the hospital medical records. Linear regression coefficients, and Box and Whisker plots were calculated and depicted using non-parametric statistics (Kruskal Wallis and Mann–Whitney). Spearman’s regression coefficient assessed marker accuracy; p<0.05 was considered significant. It was found that high TNFα in cases <34 weeks gestation, when coupled to low UtA-PI and normal blood pressure are found in early PTD most likely linked to maternal inflammation. At term, high TNFα combined with high UtA-PI is associated with any FGR (with/without PE), possibly reflecting inflammation and maternal and fetal hypoxia due to the very long period of altered placental perfusion. Accordingly, TNFα, and Doppler UtA-PI could be used for the differential diagnosis of early PTD, and FGR (with/without PE) near delivery. fetal growth restriction gestational week inflammation mean arterial blood pressure placental hypoxia placental perfusion preeclampsia pregnancy omejitev rasti ploda gestacijski teden vnetje srednji arterijski krvni tlak hipoksija placente perfuzija placente nosečnost faktor tumorske nekroze alfa true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-05-18 12:32:27 2026-05-18 12:32:27 2026-05-19 03:54:40 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 18. 2. 2025; str. 1-11 iss. 2 Vol. 11 Feb. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 618.3-008.6 2575-8594 10.19080/GJORM.2025.11.555807 226434563 RAZ_Sharabi-Nov_Adi_2025.pdf RAZ_Sharabi-Nov_Adi_2025.pdf 1 1B421DBD7C74F636FE4F91BA91757D3A 1246ec530963b3ef03742c1efcd87075165a9c07cbae543b6c91975318251c30 f4f9a409-52a4-11f1-8a5a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=44110 https://juniperpublishers.com/gjorm/ 1 df82aa44-52a4-11f1-8a5a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=44109 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
