Abstract:Objective: To analyze the effects of different doses of progesterone on serum bisphenol A (BPA) and pregnancy-related plasma protein A (PAPP-A) levels in patients with threatened abortion in early pregnancy. Methods: A total of 96 cases with threatened abortion in early pregnancy admitted to our hospital from July 2023 to July 2024 were selected as the study subjects and assigned to the observation group. The patients were treated with different doses of progesterone, and randomly divided into a low-dose group (Group A), a medium-dose group (Group B) and a high-dose group (Group C), with 32 cases in each group.Randomization was performed using a computer-generated random number table, and the allocation concealment was ensured by a dedicated person managing the grouping scheme. Serum levels of BPA and PAPP-A were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to analyze the pregnancy maintenance outcomes. Based on the outcomes,the cases in the observation group was further classified into an effective pregnancy maintenance group (n=66) and an ineffective pregnancy maintenance group (n=30). The relationship was clarified between serum levels of BPA and PAPP-A and the efficacy of different progesterone doses in pregnancy maintenance treatment for patients with threatened abortion in early pregnancy.Results: After treatment, compared with Group A, the BPA expression levels in Groups B and C decreased, while the PAPP-A expression levels increased (P<0.05). Compared with Group C, the success rates of pregnancy maintenance in Groups A and B were higher (P<0.05). In comparison to the ineffective pregnancy maintenance group, the expression levels of BPA were decreased and those of PAPP-A were increased in the effective pregnancy maintenance group in patients with threatened abortion in early pregnancy (P<0.05). BPA exhibited a negative correlation with the efficacy of low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose pregnancy maintenance treatments (P<0.05), while PAPP-A showed a positive correlation with the efficacy of these treatments (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that BPA and PAPP-A in patients with threatened abortion in early pregnancy were the primary risk factors influencing the efficacy of progesterone-based pregnancy maintenance treament (P<0.05). ROC analysis revealed that the combination of serum BPA and PAPP-A for the efficacy of progesterone-based pregnancy maintenance treatment in patients with threatened abortion in early pregnancy had high predictive value (P<0.05).Conclusion: Pregnancy maintenance treatment with different doses of progesterone in patients with threatened abortion in early pregnancy can significantly improve the pregnancy maintenance rate and reduce the risk of abortion. Among them, the medium-dose progesterone has the best treatment effect, which can significantly improve the serum levels of BPA and PAPP-A, and enhance the pregnancy outcomes of patients.
