The contents of phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine phosphorus in amniotic fluid (10,000 X g pellets) were studied as predictors of fetal lung maturity. The presence of phosphatidylglycerol predicted the absence of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome with 99% probability. When phosphatidylglycerol was absent, phosphatidylcholine phosphorus was a reliable predictor if measured 3 to 7 days before delivery. The probability that respiratory distress syndrome would not occur was 94% when phosphatidylcholine phosphorus was greater than 6. When measurement was performed within 2 days of delivery, the probability that respiratory distress syndrome would not occur fell to 69%. As measured in amniotic fluid, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine phosphorus are reliable antenatal predictors of fetal pulmonary maturity and, therefore, are useful in the management of a number of obstetric conditions.
