Abstract
Objective: Preterm birth (PTB) is the major obstetric problem in developed countries, accounting for the majority of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a hematopoietic cytokine that mediates the increase in leukocytes in pregnancy and may play a role in placentation. We aimed to investigate the differences of serum G-CSF levels between subsequent spontaneous PTB and term-delivered healthy pregnant women. Material and Methods: Serum samples, collected from total of 600 singleton otherwise healthy pregnants at 24-28 weeks of gestation during a routine antenatal visit, were used to assess G-CSF levels; 40 of the total pregnants who delivered their infants spontaneously after preterm labor before 37 weeks of gestation were selected as the study group. Also, 120 pregnants were selected as a control group using a 1/3 ratio. Student s t-test, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U-tests, and ROC curve analysis for prediction of PTB were used for the comparison of groups. P
