Preterm birth (delivery before 37 completed weeks of gestation) is common and rates are increasing. In the past, medical efforts focused on ameliorating the consequences of prematurity rather than preventing its occurrence. This approach resulted in improved neonatal outcomes, but it remains costly in terms of both the suffering of infants and their ...

Hypocortisolism and preterm birth
Journal of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, 2016OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether hypocortisolism is associated with preterm birth, using hair cortisol as a marker of long term hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity. STUDY DESIGN: In a prospective, matched, case-control study, 29 women who had a preterm birth at 24–36w5d gestation were compared to 29 women who ...

Paternal Age and Preterm Birth
Epidemiology, 2005There is growing evidence that advanced paternal age can be a reproductive hazard.We studied couples and their first children using nationwide registers in Denmark between 1980 and 1996. We restricted the analysis to mother's age 20-29 years. We estimated odds ratios (ORs) of preterm (< 37 weeks gestation) and very preterm birth (< 32 weeks) as a ...

The Epidemiology of Preterm Birth
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1988The immediate causes of preterm birth (preterm labor, PPROM, maternal complications, and fetal distress) are well-established. Similarly, the epidemiologic and medical risk factors discussed are well-known. Most risk factors, unfortunately, are not easy to modify.

Rates of preterm birth vary between different populations and ethnic groups. Epidemiologic studies have suggested that the incidence of preterm birth is also higher in pregnancies carrying a male fetus; the male:female difference is greater in earlier preterm pregnancy.

Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2008
Rates of preterm birth range from 5% to 13% of deliveries in developed countries. About two-thirds of preterm deliveries are due to spontaneous onset of preterm labour or preterm premature rupture of membranes. Approximately one-third follow induction of labour or caesarean section performed for maternal or fetal indications such as preeclampsia ...

The prevention of preterm birth may be the most important problem facing maternity care providers. Preterm birth occurs in 10% of all births in the United States and is associated with 83% of perinatal deaths not caused by congenital anomalies. This article reviews the anatomy and physiology of the uterus, the physiology of uterine contractions, the ...
