Genetics and Preterm Birth

Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 2013
Although the etiology of preterm birth is incompletely understood, phenotype classifications combined with recent technologies such as genome-wide association studies and next-generation sequencing could lead to discovering genotypes associated with preterm birth.

INFECTION AND PRETERM BIRTH

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.

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...
