Structured summary Aim of the study: To compare the diagnostic reliability, accuracy, and safety of amniocentesis and amniotic fluid Interleukin-6 testing in the diagnosis of intrauterine inflammation of patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes. Type of study: Prospective cohort study Name and location of study site: Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Pilsen Set and methodology: We prospectively examined patients with pPROM between the 23rd and 34th week of gestation in 2014 - 2017. All of them underwent amniocentesis and determination of IL-6 levels in amniotic fluid, leukocytes and bacteria in amniotic fluid as well as maternal blood examination for inflammation parameters. The results were compared to histological examination of the placenta after delivery for the presence of chorioamnionitis. Based on the values mentioned above the sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive value, false positive and negative predictive value and accuracy of the test were determined together with an assessment of statistical significance. Furthermore, the feasibility and incidence of perioperative complications as well as the risk of secondary infection when pregnancy continued were evaluated by serial aniocenteses at weekly intervals.
