English
Authors' results and conclusions:
Treatment of women suspected of pre-term labour may be affected by the knowledge of their foetal fibronectin (FFN) status. Despite good initial results with the Foetal Fibronectin Rapid System, this system requires advanced technical skills and laboratory equipment. An established bed side fibronectin test (QuikCheck ffN), which may be used in all hospital settings is currently available in Australia.
Authors' recommendations:
