Preterm birth, which occurs in 11 percent of all pregnancies, is responsible for the majority of neonatal deaths and nearly one half of all cases of congenital neurologic disability, including cerebral palsy.1 Although all births before 37 weeks of gestation are considered premature, births before 32 weeks' gestation (2 percent of all births) account ...

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1971
In this study, 252 prematures were seen among 2,886 deliveries. The average prematurity rate was 8.73 per cent. Most of the prematures (36.5 per cent) were born of women 21–25 years of age. The premature babies were most frequently (46.1 per cent) associated with the birth order of 1–3. Prematurity rate increased progressively from the most favoured to

Late Preterm Birth: Preventable Prematurity?
Clinics in Perinatology, 2011Prematurity is one of the leading causes of infant morbidity and mortality globally. Over the years, however, advances in medicine and technology have enhanced the ability to care for babies at very early gestations. There has also been a shift in the distribution of births away from term/post-term gestations and toward earlier gestational ages.

Ureaplasma urealyticum and Premature Birth
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1993Evidence related to the association of Ureaplasma urealyticum with premature birth is reviewed. U. urealyticum is a common inhabitant in the vagina of pregnant women. It is recovered from the vaginas of approximately 70% of pregnant women. The presence of U. urealyticum in the vagina is not associated with premature birth.

Social Determinants of Premature Birth
Clinics in PerinatologySocial determinants of health have received increasing attention in public health, leading to increased understanding of how social factors-individual and contextual-shape the health of the mother and infant. However, racial differences in birth outcomes persist, with incomplete explanation for the widening disparity.
