​Providers: Who is at risk for Preterm Birth?
Predict Early with the PreTRM® Test for Risk Management.
There’s something you can do to help your patient if she is at increased risk for preterm birth. Take action early, put interventions in place, and help her prepare.
Since every pregnancy is different, you can find out her personal risk of delivering early through a simple blood test done as early as 19 weeks that measures proteins associated with preterm birth.
The proteins cover pathways associated with preterm birth, such as inflammation, hemorrhage, stress, uterine over-distention, and others.
These predictive biomarkers were discovered in the landmark PAPR Study – Proteomic Assessment of Preterm Risk – a large, contemporary, multisite, all-comer study entirely representative of the U.S. pregnant population. This is the largest study of its kind and included 5,501 women.
The PreTRM Test for Risk Management provides accurate, early, individualized risk prediction for singleton pregnancies. The test provides the patient's personal risk prediction, i.e., % risk spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) before 37 weeks of gestation.
*The PreTRM® test is currently available nationwide. In New York, the PreTRM test is available through the Request for Waiver process. Health Care Professionals in New York who wish to order the PreTRM test for their patients may contact PreTRM Support for assistance in the Request for Waiver process.
Preterm Birth is still our greatest obstetrical/neonatal problem. We can do better.
