The Significance of YKL-40, a Marker Involved in Extracellular Matrix Remodeling, in Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membranes: A Prospective Observational Study
Objective: Our objectives were to evaluate maternal serum YKL-40 levels in pregnancies complicated by preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM), compare them with healthy gestational age-comparable controls, and assess the association between YKL-40 levels and subsequent composite adverse neonatal outcomes (CANOs)....
