Method: Myometrial thickness was measured ultrasonographically at the mid-anterior (MA), fundal, and posterior parts of the uterus of pregnant women in the following groups: PPROM [n=45, mean (range), gestational age (GA): 28.6weeks (w) (24.0-33.0w)], preterm nonlabor control group (P-CTR) [n=20, GA: 29.5w (25.0-32.0w)] and term nonlabor control (T-CTR) [n=27, GA: 38.4w (37.0-41.0w)]. Results: There was a positive correlation between LI and fundal MT (r=0.34, P=0.02), mid-MT (r=0.47, P=0.001) and LUS (r=0.74, P=0.001). The results were similar in the group of <30w of GA, but in the group of ≥30w of GA, there was no association. The LUS MT has more area under the ROC curve than MA MT and fundal MT for prediction of LI of ≤8days. Conclusion: Significant positive correlation between LI and MT in patients with PPROM may result in a better decision for taking care of infants of preterm birth.
