Background and Objectives:Preterm birth, one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality, occurs in between 5 and 18% of births. Premature birth can be induced by a variety of triggers, including infection or inflammation. Serum amyloid A, a family of apolipoproteins, increases significantly and rapidly at the onset of inflammation. This study aims to systematically review the results of studies in the literature that have examined the correlation between SAA and PTB/PROM.Materials and Methods:To examine the correlation between serum amyloid A levels in women who gave birth prematurely, a systematic analysis was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Studies were retrieved by searching the electronic databases PubMed and Google Scholar. The primary outcome measure was the standardized mean difference in serum amyloid A level comparing the preterm birth or premature rupture of membranes groups and the term birth group.Results:Based on the inclusion criteria, a total of 5 manuscripts adequately addressed the desired outcome and were thus included in the analysis. All included studies showed a statistically significant difference in serum SAA levels between the preterm birth or preterm rupture of membranes groups and the term birth group. The pooled effect, according to the random effects model, is SMD = 2.70. However, the effect is not significant (p= 0.097). In addition, the analysis reveals an increased heterogeneity with an I2= 96%. Further, the analysis of the influence on heterogeneity found a study that has a significant influence on heterogeneity. However, even after outline exclusion, heterogeneity remained high I2= 90.7%.Conclusions:There is an association between increased levels of SAA and preterm birth/PROM, but studies have shown great heterogeneity.
