Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2002
Studies in the past year have clarified the roles of inflammatory mediators in preterm labour. Exploration of possible genetic predisposition is just beginning. Ultrasound measurement of cervical length has the potential to predict women at risk of preterm delivery several weeks before it occurs.

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1993
Preterm birth is a major cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Although limited data exist to support efforts to prevent preterm birth, some specific interventions have merit. Strategies targeted at identification of early preterm labor and tocolysis have generally been unrewarding.

Spontaneous preterm labour remains a major obstetric problem because of the high incidence of neonatal mortality or long-term handicap associated with it. The drugs available for the management of preterm labour are poorly effective and have potentially serious side-effects for the mother or fetus.

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1988
Summary. A retrospective study of 1921 caesarean sections at Rutherglen Maternity Hospital in Glasgow during the years 1979–1983, inclusive, showed that 229 (12%) were performed at less than 37 weeks gestation. Of these 229 preterm caesarean sections 41% were elective, 21% were for antepartum haemorrhage and 38% took place during labour.

Auditory brainstem response in very preterm, moderately preterm and late preterm infants
International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 2018Auditory brainstem response across preterm infants help in understanding difference if any in auditory maturation.To analyze and compare absolute and interpeak latencies of ABR in very preterm, moderate preterm and late preterm infants at term age.ABR traces were obtained from 148 ears of preterm infants (52 of very preterm, 44 of moderately preterm ...

Preterm birth (PTB), which occurs in about 12% of pregnancies worldwide, is the main cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Symptomatic treatment of pregnancies presenting in preterm labor with corticosteroids and antibiotics has improved neonatal outcomes but has not reduced the incidence of PTB.

Causes of preterm birth: Genetic factors in preterm birth and preterm infant phenotypes
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research, 2022AbstractAimThe aim is to provide an overview of recent research on genetic factors that influence preterm birth in the context of neonatal phenotypic assessment.MethodsThis is a nonsystematic review of the recent scientific literature.ResultsMaternal and fetal genetic diversity and rare genome variants are linked with crucial immune response sites.

AbstractIncreased uterine contractility at term and preterm results from activation and then stimulation of the myometrium. Activation can be provoked by mechanical stretch of the uterus and by an endocrine pathway resulting from increased activity of the fetal hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis.

Magnesium Sulfate for Preterm Labor and Preterm Birth
Obstetric Anesthesia Digest, 2009Approximately half of the more than 500,000 preterm births each year result from preterm labor. Tocolytic therapy continues to be the focus of treatment of these women. Although a variety of tocolytics are used in clinical practice, magnesium sulfate remains one of the most commonly used agents.

Risk for Preterm and Very Preterm Delivery in Women Who Were Born Preterm
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2015To evaluate whether women who themselves were born preterm are at increased risk of preterm delivery and, if so, whether known maternal complications of preterm birth such as hypertension or diabetes explain this risk.We conducted a population-based cohort study of all women born preterm (51,148) and term (823,991) in Québec, Canada, between 1976 and ...
