Abstract:〔Abstract〕 Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) combined assay in intrauterine infections in patients with premature rupture of membranes. Methods Sixty-one cases of women with premature rupture of membranes admitted to Ganzhou People's Hospital from May 2020 to May 2022 were selected as the study subjects, and they were divided into 18 cases in the infected group and 43 cases in the uninfected group according to whether or not intrauterine infection occurred. Serum HCG, MMP-8, and TNF-α levels were compared between patients in the infected and uninfected groups, and between mildly infected and severely infected patients in the infected group, respectively, and the predictive value of serum HCG, MMP-8, and TNF-α for intrauterine infection combined with premature rupture of membranes was compared. Results The levels of serum HCG, MMP-8 and TNF-α in the infected group were higher than those in the aninfected group, and the levels of HCG, MMP-8 and TNF-α in the severely infected group were higher than those in the mildly infected group, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). The specificity, sensitivity and accuracy of serum HCG, MMP-8 and TNF-α were 83.72%, 72.22% and 80.32% respectively. Conclusion For pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes, the combined detection of serum HCG, MMP-8 and TNF-α can make up for the low specificity of the single detection of TNF-α and MMP-8, and predict the risk of intrauterine infection more effectively. It is helpful for early identification and treatment of premature rupture of membranes combined with intrauterine infection, so as to reduce the incidence of related complications and improve the pregnancy outcome.
