Table 1. Characteristics of patients with IUGR of the fetus
Note: results are presented as median values (the maximum value ÷ the minimum value); р1 is the р value indicating the difference from the group of pregnant patients with grade I IUGR; р2 is the р value indicating the difference from the group of pregnant patients with grade II IUGR.
Table 2. Concentrations of plasma cfDNA and the activity of DNase I in healthy nonpregnant women and women with normal and complicated pregnancies
Note: results are presented as median values (the maximum value ÷ the minimum value); р1 is the р value indicating the difference from the group of healthy nonpregnant women р2 is the р value indicating the difference from the group of healthy pregnant women.
Table 3. Spearman’s correlation between cfDNA concentrations and DNase I activity
Table 4. Levels of cfDNA and DNase I activity in patients with different grades IUGR
Note: results are presented as median values (the maximum value ÷ the minimum value; р1 is the р value indicating the difference from the group of patients with grade I IUGR; р2 is the р value indicating the difference from the group of patients with grade II IUGR; * represents р < 0.01 indicating the difference from the groups of healthy nonpregnant and pregnant women.
