Predicting respiratory distress syndrome using gestational age and fetal lung maturity by fluorescent polarization

Article Abstract:

The study designs a predictive model for assessing the risk of developing respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) by using gestational age (GA) and results from a quantitative fluorescence polarization-based fetal lung maturity assay (TDx FLM II). The incorporation of GA into the evaluation of fetal lung monitoring allows for individualized, GA-specific risk assessment and provides GA-specific cut-offs with increased specificity.
