The aim of this study was to determine the interrelationship between cervical concentration of interleukin 6 and detection of fetal fibronectin and other risk factors for spontaneous preterm birth.Study Design: All patients with spontaneous preterm birth at <35 weeks' gestation (case patients; n = 125) and subjects matched for race, parity, and center delivered at > or = 37 weeks' gestation (n = 125; control subjects) were selected from women enrolled in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development's Preterm Prediction Study. Interleukin 6 concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in cervical swabs obtained at 22 weeks' to 24 weeks 6 days' gestation. Cutoffs to define an elevated interleukin 6 concentration included the 90th and 95th percentiles for control subjects (>305 and >538 pg/mL, respectively).
