January 4, 2015 updated by: Osvaldo A. Reyes T., Saint Thomas Hospital, Panama

Amniotic Fluid Optical Density Determination Between 28 and 36 6/7 Weeks of Pregnancy and Its Relationship With the Diagnosis of Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

To determine the relationship between the result of amniotic fluid optical density between 26 and 36 6/7 weeks of pregnancy and the risk of developing neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Preterm fetus
Patients with pregnancies between 26 and 36 6/7 weeks of pregnancy. Before the birth, a sample of amniotic fluid was taken and analyzed using optical density at 650nm. A value above 0.15 was considered an indication of fetal lung maturity.
Procedure: Preterm fetus
A sample of amniotic fluid was taken before the birth of fetus between 26 and 36 6/7 weeks of pregnancy.
