Introduction In these years there has been much interest in the developing of endocrine assays to predict preterm delivery. The aim of this study is to analyze the performance of the prediction of preterm delivery of insulin-like growth factor binding protein's phosphorylated isoform (phIGFBP–1) and fFN tests in symptomatic patients. Methods 210 caucasian women with symptoms of preterm delivery between 24 and 34g.w., singleton pregnancy and intact membranes. We tested the cervical-vaginal phIGFBP–1 and fFN tests. The statistical analysis was performed by student's t test and multiple logistic regression (p
