In a study of 766 amniotic fluids, collected from pregnancies between 26 weeks and term, phosphatidylglycerol (PG) was identified in a greater proportion than was a mature lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio at all gestational ages between 28 and 38 weeks regardless of the underlying pregnancy complication. The early appearance of PG was particularly striking in amniotic fluids obtained after preterm rupture of membranes. Since PG has been previously shown to be a useful indicator of the risk of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, its appearance before a mature L/S ratio suggests that its detection offers a considerable advantage in the management of high-risk obstetric problems in which the earliest possible indication that the fetal lungs are mature is required.
