Oxidative stress and inflammation in retained placenta: a pilot study of protein and gene expression of GPX1 and NFκB

Table 5 Level of GPX 1 protein concentration and risk of retained placenta

	Risk of retained placenta
	Unadjusted Odds Ratio	p-value	Adjusted Odds Ratio^b	p-value
Low value^a periumbilical GPX 1	3.82	0.02	3.54	0.08
Low value^a peripheral GPX 1	3.95	0.02	7.00	0.01

^alow-value assessment based on sensitivity-specificity analysis of ROC curve. Periumbilical GPX 1 cut-off = 15.62 ng/ml, peripheral GPX 1 = 19.90 ng/ml
^badjusted for duration in minutes of augmented labor
