INFECTION AND PRETERM BIRTH [PDF]
American Journal of Perinatology, 2000 Preterm birth complicates 11% of all pregnancies in the United States and remains a leading cause of infant mortality and long-term neurological handicap. The majority of this morbidity and mortality is concentrated among the small subset of infants born before 32 weeks' gestational age and that have birth weights < 1500 g.

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 ...

The microbiome in preterm birth
Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2018The microbiome is thought to play a role in the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy and thus may either contribute to or protect from preterm birth. Study of the human microbiome has been aided by metagenomic sequencing approaches, providing greater insight into the commensal bacteria that coexist in and on our bodies.

To evaluate whether the risk for dyscalculia in preterm children increases the lower the gestational age (GA) and whether small-for-gestational age birth is associated with dyscalculia.A total of 922 children ranging from 23 to 41 weeks' GA were studied as part of a prospective geographically defined longitudinal investigation of neonatal at-risk ...

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 delivered at term ...

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.

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).

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.

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.
