However, analysis of FBM patterns and Doppler measurement of them for preterm birth prediction have not been performed before. In this study, we aimed to investigate and analyze FBM patterns in symptomatic preterm labor patients by fetal ultrasonography and nasal Doppler.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2020-0276_abs_002\">\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This was a multicenter, prospective cohort study.

Preterm delivery rate in 24\u00a0h in groups were 91.7, 32.7 and 100%, respectively. The absence of FBM (Group 1) was statistically significant for preterm delivery in for both 24 (91.7 vs. 42.6%, p=0.002) and 48\u00a0h (91.7 vs. 49.2%, p=0.006) when compared with fetal breathing positive Group 2 and 3. In fetal nasal Doppler analyses in Group 2, the inspiration\/expiration number rate was significantly lower in the patients who delivered in 24\u00a0h (0.98\u00b10.2 vs. 1.25\u00b10.57, p=0.015). By using fetal nasal Doppler, combination of absence of FBM or irregular FBM or regular FBM with inspiration number\/expiration number (I\/E) &lt;1.25 detects 94.6% of patients who will eventually deliver in the first 24\u00a0h after admission.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2020-0276_abs_004\">\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Examining FBM patterns and using nasal Doppler may help the clinician to differentiate those who will deliver preterm and may be an invaluable tool for managing preterm labor patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/jpm-2020-0276","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,17]],"date-time":"2020-11-17T08:01:48Z","timestamp":1605600108000},"page":"319-325","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A novel technique for prediction of preterm birth: fetal nasal flow Doppler"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Sertac","family":"Esin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perinatology , Baskent University School of Medicine , Ankara , Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erhan","family":"Okuyan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Batman Maternity Hospital , Batman , Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8854-8190","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emre","family":"Gunakan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perinatology , Baskent University School of Medicine , Ankara , Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hatice Yagmur","family":"Zengin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics , Baskent University School of Medicine , Ankara , Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mutlu","family":"Hayran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Oncology , Hacettepe University Cancer Institute , Ankara , Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9418-4733","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yusuf Aytac","family":"Tohma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , Baskent University School of Medicine , Ankara , Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023092212122973475_j_jpm-2020-0276_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Beck, S, Wojdyla, D, Say, L, Betran, AP, Merialdi, M, Requejo, JH, et al..
