We aimed to investigate the relationship between the level of maternal serum leptin and the occurrence of moderate preterm labor.
This was a case control study conducted on pregnant women referred to Al-Zahra Hospital in Rasht, north of Iran in 2013. Cases included 30 moderate preterm delivering women and 30 control pregnant women with the same gestational age. The maternal serum leptin was measured for each mother at the time of entering the study.
The mean serum leptin in the control group (56.66±34.18) was significantly higher than the preterm (33.65±16.70) group. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of body mass index and age. Logistic regression revealed that age and body mass index did not have a significant relationship to moderate preterm birth. However, an increased leptin level as low as 1 microgram per liter was associated with the risk of moderate preterm birth incidence (OR: 0.973, CI: 0.948-0.997).
Higher levels of leptin in pregnant women are associated with a decreased risk of moderate preterm birth. Further investigations are recommended with a larger sample size.
我们旨在研究孕妇血清瘦素水平与中度早产发生之间的关系。
这是一项于2013年对转诊至伊朗北部拉什特的阿尔-扎赫拉医院的孕妇进行的病例对照研究。病例包括30名中度早产的孕妇和30名孕周相同的对照孕妇。在进入研究时为每位母亲测量了孕妇血清瘦素。
对照组的平均血清瘦素水平(56.66±34.18)显著高于早产组(33.65±16.70)。两组在体重指数和年龄方面无显著差异。逻辑回归显示年龄和体重指数与中度早产无显著关系。然而,瘦素水平每升高1微克/升就与中度早产发生率的风险相关(比值比:0.973,可信区间:0.948 - 0.997)。
孕妇较高的瘦素水平与中度早产风险降低相关。建议进行更大样本量的进一步研究。
