Background: Preterm Birth (PTB) is one of the main causes of neonatal death and infant mortality and morbidity. The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a major proinflammatory mediator of the host response to infection and malondialdehyde (MDA) is a marker of oxidative stress. Objective : To evaluate potential associations between IL-6 and MDA levels in women with preterm birth. Method: A total of 150 women (66 with full-term and 84 with PTB) were enrolled in this case-control study. Predesigned performas were filled through questionnaire interviews to collect data on personal, demographic, occupational, lifestyle and reproductive history. Blood samples were collected within 36 hours of delivery. Serum concentrations of IL-6 and MDA were determined in mothers with full-term and preterm birth. Results: The mean age was marginally higher; whereas BMI was slightly lower in cases (PTB) as compared to controls (full-term) subjects. Serum IL-6 and MDA levels were significantly higher in subjects with PTB than full-term birth. The data were further analyzed with respect to underweight, normal and overweight/obese BMI. In all the BMI categories, the levels of IL-6 and MDA were higher in PTB cases. Among the PTB categories, the levels of IL-6 and MDA were highest in moderate to late preterm birth. A significant positive correlation was found between IL-6 and MDA levels. There was a weak negative correlation between either IL-6 or MDA and the number of gestational weeks. Conclusion : Elevated maternal serum levels of Interleukin-6 and Malondialdehyde in preterm as compared to full-term birth might suggest that inflammation and oxidative stress play a critical role in PTB.

Introduction: Early recognition of subclinical intra-amniotic infection before development of clinical Chorioamnionitis dramatically improve neonatal outcome before affection of fetal neurological function. Objective: this study was conducted to evaluate the role of procalcitonin and interleukin-6 in early prediction of intrauterine infection in pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes. Methods: This observational prospective cohort study was conducted on 100 pregnant women with preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM), Patients were divided into 2 groups: Group I: with normal CRP and WBCs level. Group2: with subclinical infection which was detected by elevated WBCs count >15,000 c/mm3 and / or positive CRP. This group was divided into two groups (Group (II) and Group (III) according to development of Chorioamnionitis. follow up of these patients was done to detect the cutoff value of procalcitonin and interleukin-6 as a predictive indicator of clinical intra-amniotic infection in patients with premature rupture of membrane. Results: This study showed that the mean value of maternal serum PCT concentration was higher in patients with clinical infection than its concentration in patients without infection or with subclinical infection with P-value 0.0001 which is highly significant between the studied cases and with cutoff value was >0.67ng/ml, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV was 88.7%, 42.9%, 79.7% and 60% respectively and the mean value of maternal serum IL-6 concentration was also higher in patients with clinical infection than its concentration in patients without infection or with subclinical infection with P-value 0.001which is highly significant between the studied cases and with cutoff value was >11.1pg/ ml, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV was 67.9%, 61.9%, 81.8% and 43.3% respectively. Conclusion: maternal serum procalcitonin is a good predictor of clinical intra-amniotic infection with good sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV which is nearly good as CRP which is better than serum interleukin-6 regarding sensitivity
