              Objective: To establish usefulness of cervicovaginal prolactin concentrations in second trimester for the prediction of preterm delivery. Methods: Cervicovaginal samples were taken between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. All patients were followed until delivery and divided in group A (preterm delivery) and group B (term delivery). General characteristics, cervicovaginal prolactin concentrations and prognostic efficacy were evaluated. Results: The mean gestational age at cervicovaginal sample was 26.2 +/- 1.1 weeks in group A and 25.9 +/- 1.1 weeks in group B (p = ns). There were not found significant differences in maternal age, body mass index and history of preterm labor (p = ns). Group A patients (1.6 +/- 0.8 ng/mL) showed higher cervicovaginal prolactin concentrations than group B (0.5 +/- 0.3 ng/mL; p < 0.0001). A cut-off value of 1 ng/mL had a value under curve of 0.87 with a sensitivity of 73.1%, specificity of 91.6%, positive predictive value of 44.7% and negative predictive value of 97.3%. Conclusion: Cervicovaginal prolactin concentrations are useful for the prediction of preterm delivery.
