Abstract:
Objective: To analyze the risk factors of spontaneous preterm birth(SPB)in low-risk pregnant wom-en based on pregnancy examination indicators and construct a prediction model.
Methods: A total of 236 low-risk pregnant women (with good basic condition and no pregnancy complications or other pregnancy risks) who received regular birth examination in the Southwest Hospital Affiliated to Youjiang Medical College for Nationali-ties from February 2019 to January 2022 were selected and divided into SPB group(gestation age< 37 weeks,
n=71)and full-term group(gestation age ≥37 weeks,
n=165).Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analy-sis were used to explore the influencing factors of SPB and establish a prediction model.Consistency index(
CI), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, curve of calibration and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test(H-L test) were used to evaluate the predictive value of the model.
Results: Multiparity, elevated systolic blood pressure, high platelet count, elevated level of platelet activating factor (PAF) and cervical length ≤2.5 cm were the influencing factors of SPB in low-risk pregnant women(
p< 0.05).These influencing factors were used as pre-dictors to establish a nomogram model, which predicted the risk of SPB in low-risk pregnant women with
CI 0.774, area under ROC curve (AUC) 0.774 (95%
CI: 0.710-0.839), sensitivity 69.00% and specificity 75.80%.The nomogram predicted SPB risk was basically consistent with the actual risk, and the mean absolute error(MAE)was 0.024; H-L test showed that the predictive value of the model was in good agreement with the actual observation results (
P> 0.05).
Conclusion: Multipari-ty, elevated systolic blood pressure, high platelet count, elevated PAF level and cervical length ≤2.5 cm are all risk factors affecting SPB in low-risk pregnant women.The prediction model based on these factors has good discrimination, calibration and prediction perfor-mance, which can achieve accurate and personalized prediction of SPB risk in low-risk pregnant women.
