Objective:To explore the association between adverse outcomes of preterm infants and obstetric factors such as infection,maternal disease and treatment measures in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes(PPROM),so as to provide more accurate and effective prediction and intervention methods for im-proving maternal and infant prognosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 534 PPROM patients who gave births in the obstetrics department of The Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical Uni-versity from January 1,2018,to August 31,2023.Based on the presence of severe preterm birth complications in premature infants(including bronchopulmonary dysplasia,necrotizing enterocolitis,retinopathy of prematurity,neonatal infectious pneumonia,neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopa-thy,and neonatal sepsis)or death,the patients were divided into two groups:the adverse outcome group(n=121)and the non-adverse outcome group(n=413).The study compared differences between the two groups in general conditions,pregnancy complications and comorbidities,treatment and management,amniotic fluid and pla-cental infections.Logistics regression analysis was used to identify obstetric factors associated with adverse out-comes in preterm infants.Results:Univariate analysis revealed that patients in the adverse outcome group had smaller gestational weeks at delivery,longer intervals between membrane rupture and delivery,and a lower rate of vaginal delivery compared to those in the non-adverse outcome group.They also had a higher proportion of con-current cervical insufficiency,antepartum hemorrhage,hypertensive disorders of pregnancy,and anemia of preg-nancy.The use of prenatal magnesium sulfate and glucocorticoids for fetal lung maturity promotion before delivery was higher,and the effective coverage rates of prophylactic antibiotics was lower.The positive rates of amniotic fluid bacterial culture,the proportion of clinical chorioamnionitis,and histological chorioamnionitis were higher.All of the above differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis revealed that positive amniotic fluid bacterial culture(OR 4.602,95%CI 2.303-9.196,P<0.05),anemia of pregnancy(OR 4.192,95%CI 2.064-8.510,P<0.05),and cervical insufficiency(OR 9.435,95%CI 1.138-78.261,P<0.05)were independ-ent risk factors for adverse outcomes in preterm infants among PPROM patients,while gestational weeks at deliv-ery(OR0.466,95%CI 0.370-0.586,P<0.05),effective coverage of prophylactic antibiotics before delivery(OR 0.286,95%CI 0.121-0.673,P<0.05),and treatment for lung maturity promotion(OR 0.225,95%CI 0.107-0.474,P<0.05)were protective factors for adverse outcomes in premature infants in PPROM patients.Conclu-sions:The adverse outcomes of preterm infants in PPROM patients are closely related to obstetric factors such as infection,maternal diseases,and treatment measures.Among these,positive amniotic fluid bacterial culture,a-nemia during pregnancy,and cervical insufficiency are independent risk factors for adverse outcomes in premature infants in PPROM patients.On the other hand,gestational age at deli very,effective coverage of prenatal antibiot-ics,and pulmonary maturity promotion therapy are protective factors.

Objective:To investigate the role of adenosine triphosphatase phospholipid transporter 10a(ATP10a)methylation assay in the triage of atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance(ASC-US)and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(LSIL)in cervical cytology.Methods:188 patients with cervical exfolia-ted cells of ASC-US and LSIL were selected,and High-risk human papilloma virus(HR-HPV)typing and cervical biopsy results of the patients were collected at the same time.The cervical biopsy pathology results were used as the gold standard,and they were divided into inflammation,LSIL,high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(HSIL)and cervical squamous cell carcinoma(SCC).Classify inflammation and LSIL as LSIL-group,HSIL and SCC as HSIL+group to compare the efficacy of ATP10a methylation and HR-HPV testing for diagnosis of HSIL+in this population(including HSIL and SCC).Results:The methylation detection value of ATP10a in the inflam-mation,LSIL,HSIL,and SCC patients were 19.035(16.478,20.823),13.446(5.890,20.674),10.336(4.733,17.336),4.223(1.713,7.754),respectively.The methylation detection value of ATP10a in the LSIL-group was 17.812(10.787,20.686),while that in the HSIL+group was 7.251(3.170,14.194).There was a statistically sig-nificant difference between the groups(Z=-5.824,P<0.001).The proportion of HR-HPV positivity in the LSIL-group was 70.9%,which was lower than that of the HSIL+group(88.2%),and the difference was statistically significant(Z=-2.887,P=0.004).The specificity,negative predictive value(NPV),and area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC)of ATP10A methylation diagnosis of HSIL+(66.0%,79.1%,and 0.747)were higher than those of HR-HPV detection(29.1%,50.7%,0.587).Sensitivity and positive predictive value(PPV)(78.8%and 65.7%)were lower than those of HR-HPV testing(88.2%and 75.0%).when using ATP10a methylation instead of HR-HPV detection for triage of cytological abnormalities(ASC-US,LSIL),the col-poscopy referral rate could be reduced to 54.3%.In the ASC-US population,the AUC(0.683)for the diagnosis of HSIL+by ATP10a methylation test was higher than that of HR-HPV test(0.599),and the difference was statisti-cally significant(P=0.028).In the LSIL population,the AUC(0.828)for the diagnosis of HSIL+by ATP10a methylation test was still higher than that of HR-HPV test(0.563),and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.005).Conclusions:ATP10a methylation levels increased with the severity of cervical lesions,and the di-agnostic efficacy of ATP10a methylation detection for the severity of cervical lesions may not be lower than HR-HPV typing.
