Angiogenic imbalance in pregnancies with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes between 34 and 37 weeks of gestation

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This study aimed to identify whether microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity and/or intra-amniotic inflammation in women with late preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) was associated with changes in concentrations of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), placental growth factor (PlGF) and its ratio in maternal serum, and whether placental features consistent with maternal vascular malperfusion further affect their concentrations.
