Prediction of Preterm Birth

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1987
The aim of this study was to assess the value of screening of cervical status in normal as well as in pregnancies with risk factors. 1327 pregnancies were studied prospectively; 16% had a medical history of earlier obstetrical or gynecological complications (group I) and 6% had complications during the first 24 weeks of the current pregnancy (group II).

Predictors of preterm birth

Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2018
Cervical length (CL) measured by transvaginal ultrasound examination (TVUE) best identifies the risk for preterm birth (PTB). It identifies women at risk who can benefit from corticosteroids or in utero transfer. Early screening improves effectiveness of tocolysis. It reduces iatrogenicity and cost. In preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), CL

Prevention of Preterm Birth

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1988
Prevention of prematurity is the principal goal of all obstetric care. Although conquest of preterm births may yet be a distant goal that will require substantial improvements in understanding the pathophysiology of PTD, interim progress is possible.

Predictors of preterm birth

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2006
AbstractObjective: This is a systematic review to assess published scientific evidence on preterm birth predictors. Methods: An Internet search for predictors of preterm birth was performed and the evidence level of each method was evaluated. Results: There is strong evidence that preterm birth can be predicted using vaginal sonography to evaluate ...

Relaxin and Preterm Birth

Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, 2014
Preterm birth (PTB) is a global problem with a high incidence in the developing world. Relaxin (RLN) has classically been associated with parturition, but its role(s) in the human have been difficult to determine. For the first time, we bring together the systemic (ovarian) and autocrine/ paracrine (intrauterine) sources of RLN, in an attempt to ...

Infection and preterm birth

Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2016
Preterm birth (PTB) remains a primary cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this article is to outline the association between infection and PTB. We performed a search of the PubMed database for relevant scientific work published in English from 1995 to July 2015. Whereas there is substantial evidence regarding infection as a strong

Smoking and Preterm Birth

Reproductive Sciences, 2015
Premature birth is a significant global problem and the leading cause of newborn deaths. Tobacco smoking has been associated with premature birth for over 50 years. The mechanisms through which smoking exerts its effects on pregnancy outcomes remain unclear.
