Phosphatidylglycerol and the lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio were determined, and the shake test was performed, as indicators of fetal lung maturity, in more than 600 patients. A clinical review of the outcome was made in all patients who underwent delivery within 2 days after collection of amniotic fluid. Correlation was made phosphatidylglycerol, shake test, and L/S ratio results. L/S ratio had a false positive rate of 5%, and a false negative rate of 58.1%. The shake test had a false positive rate of 1.1%, and a false negative rate of 63.5%. Phosphatidylglycerol determination had a false positive rate of 1.8%, and a false negative rate of 26.9%. Phosphatidylglycerol determination is an accurate predictor of fetal lung maturity, and predicts lung immaturity more correctly than do the L/S ratio and shake test.
