Özet
Objective: To compare the accuracy and reliability of the AmniSure, AMNIOQUICK, and AL-SENSE tests with conventional tests to diagnose suspected premature rupture of membranes (PROM). Methods: A prospective cohort study of 60 pregnant women at 25–36 weeks of pregnancy with suspected PROM was conducted between January and April 2015. AmniSure (Qiagen Sciences LLC, Germantown, MD, USA), AMNIOQUICK (BIOSYNEX, Strasbourg, France), and AL-SENSE (Common Sense Ltd, Caesarea, Israel) tests were performed after conventional tests (ultrasonography, pooling, nitrazine, and fern tests) and women were followed-up for 7 days. Sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy, among others, were assessed and compared. Results: For women with a confirmed diagnosis of PROM, the sensitivity and specificity of conventional tests were 93.7% and 100.0%, respectively; diagnostic accuracy was 98.3%. Sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy were all 100.0% for AmniSure. Sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy for AMNIOQUICK were 75.0%, 97.7%, and 91.6%, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy were 75.0%, 86.3%, 83.3%, respectively, for the AL-SENSE pad test. Conclusion: The AmniSure test was most sensitive and specific for diagnosing PROM compared with the other tests and is reliable and usable.
