Aircraft noise and premature birth

Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1978
Abstract Certain physiological effects suggest that there may be a relationship between premature birth and noise exposure. Vasoconstriction in the peripheric blood vessel system is one effect. Others would be augmentation of the adrenocorticotrophic hormone and a higher vegetative excitability during pregnancy.

Guarding Against Premature Birth

Science, 1996
Boston—Babies born prematurely are 120 times more likely to die than those carried to full term, so the recent discovery that bacterial infections of the mother's reproductive tract are one cause of premature birth was welcome news.

Late Preterm Birth: Preventable Prematurity?

Clinics in Perinatology, 2011
Prematurity 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.
