Résumé
Objective To compare the diagnostic value of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1) with c-reactive protein (CRP) in serum of women with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) for detecting chorioamnionitis. Methods 55 pregnant women with term PROM including 18 pregnant women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and 20 normal pregnant women at term were enrolled. Maternal serum sICAM-1, CRP were measured by Sandwish enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA). Chorioamnionitis was histologically confirmed after delivery. Results (1)Maternal serum levels of sICAM-1 and CRP were statistically significantly higher in women with PROM than that without it;(2)Maternal serum levels of sICAM-1 and CRP were statistically significantly higher in women with chorioamnionitis than those without it;(3)In the complicated chorioamnionitis group and in the uncomplicated with chorioamnionitis group, serum levels of sICAM-1 in PPROM women were similar with those in TPROM women, whereas serum levels of CRP in PPROM women were statistically significantly higher than those in TPROM women;(4)The sensitivity, specificity, postive predictive value, negtive predictive value, Kappa index and area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of maternal serum sICAM-1(cutoff 104.7 ?g/L) and CRP(cutoff 10.3 mg/L) for diagnosing chorioamnionitis were 100%, 91.2%, 87.5%, 100%, 0.20, 0.995 and 81.0%, 73.5%, 65.4%, 86.2%, 0.13, 0.811, respectively; (5) Maternal serum levels of sICAM-1 compared with one another among mild histologic chorioamnionitis group, severe histologic chorioamnionitis group and clinical chorioamnionitis group, the difference are statistically significantly (P
