Best Cutoff Value of Lactate Concentration in Vaginal Fluid to Predict Time of Spontaneous Onset of Labor in PPROM

March 12, 2018 updated by: Mennatallah Mohamed Elnemr
The present study is aimed to assess whether lactate determination in vaginal fluid is associated with and can predict onset of labor for women with suspected preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROMs).
