International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics(2023)
摘要
ObjectiveTo compare the levels of proinflammatory cytokines in women with threatened miscarriage and normal pregnancy. MethodsThis study was a longitudinal study. Consenting women with normal pregnancy and those admitted on account of threatened miscarriage at an estimated gestational age of 6-10 weeks were included in the study. The proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-& gamma; (IFN-& gamma;) and the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 were measured at the diagnosis of threatened miscarriage (baseline) and in the 13th week of pregnancy. The & chi;(2) test of association was used to examine the relationship between the pregnancy type and demographic characteristics; clinical history and gynecologic history. Student t test was used to compare the selected cytokine between women with threatened miscarriage and normal pregnancy. ResultsThere was a significantly higher IL-2 (P = 0.033), IFN-& gamma; (P < 0.001), and IL-13 (P < 0.001) in women with threatened miscarriage than in women with normal pregnancy at the baseline. At the follow up, the results revealed a significantly higher IFN-& gamma; level (P < 0.001) and IL-4 (P = 0.019) in women with threatened miscarriage than in women with normal pregnancies. ConclusionProinflammatory cytokine profiles were associated with a higher risk of threatened miscarriage.
