The preterm delivery group exhibited high serum MyBP-C levels in the serum samples taken in the first trimester. First-trimester serum MyBP-C levels seem to be a simple and easy way to exclude preterm delivery risk in a significant manner. In addition, levels are significantly higher for early preterm compared with late preterm and early PROM compared with intact membranes.
