Objective: to determine predictors of pregnancy outcome in patients with preterm labor (PL). Materials and methods. The study included 91 patients with spontaneous PL, 87 women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and 50 respondents with physiological gestation. The groups analyzed: leukogram, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), ferritin and C-reactive protein levels. Results. Pregnancy outcomes in patients with spontaneous PL and PPROM are characterized by a significant increase in the incidence of intrauterine infection (IUI) in newborns. Effective predictors of IUI realization in premature newborns in the case of spontaneous PL are indices of NLS, and the ferritin level in plasma of patients with PPROM.
