Compared to a previous publication we found a decrease of post-ACS deliveries after/at 37 + 0 weeks (19 vs. 27 %). Ineffective ACS administrations are still frequent in patients with placenta previa, twin pregnancy and isthmocervical insufficiency. It remains to be investigated in future trials if the introduction of new diagnostic tools such as soluble Fms-like tyrosinkinase-1/placental growth factor (sFlt-1/PlGF) testing and placental alpha-microglobulin-1 (PAMG-1) testing directly led to an increased ACS effectiveness.
