Intrauterine Infection and Preterm Delivery
New England Journal of Medicine, 2000Preterm delivery is the chief problem in obstetrics today, accounting for 70 percent of perinatal mortality and nearly half of long-term neurologic morbidity.1,2 Approximately 10 percent of all births are preterm, but most of the serious illness and death is concentrated in the 1 to 2 percent of infants who are born at less than 32 weeks of gestation ...

Genetic Factors in Preterm Delivery
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1999Tens of thousands of children deliver before they are full term each year. Although many social, environmental, and medical risk factors have been suggested, the etiology of a large percentage of preterm labor cases is still unknown. It has been noted for many years that preterm delivery is a condition that runs in families.

The Diagnosis of Preterm Labor and the Prediction of Preterm Delivery
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995Clinical approaches to the diagnosis of PTL and the prediction of PTD are complicated by the absence of a gold standard for the pathogenic process leading to PTD. There is also substantial overlap between the signs and symptoms of PTL and impending PTD, and the normal processes of pregnancies destined to remain uncomplicated (e.g., our inability to ...

The coagulation profile of preterm delivery
Thrombosis Research, 2014Hypercoagulation was suggested to be involved in preterm birth etiology; however, the coagulation state of preterm parturients remains unelucidated. The study aim was to evaluate the haemostatic system of pregnant women with premature uterine contractions (PUC).The cohort study population consisted of 76 healthy pregnant women admitted with regular PUC.

AN EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDY OF PRETERM DELIVERY
American Journal of Epidemiology, 1981A case-control study of the epidemiology of preterm delivery was undertaken at Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut during 1977. The study population consisted of 175 mothers of singleton preterm infants and 313 mothers of singleton term infants. Significant risk factors of a preterm delivery included low socioeconomic status; low pregravid weight ...

Preterm delivery of erythroblastotic infants
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1956Abstract As yet there is no known method of preventing maternal Rh sensitization or its damaging effects on the fetus. Although this objective has not been attained, earlier recognition of erythroblastosis and improved pediatric treatment have increased fetal salvage.

Time to pregnancy and preterm delivery
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1997To test whether subfertile women may be at higher risk of preterm delivery.We used data from two population-based cohort studies on risk factors and pregnancy outcome for approximately 20,000 deliveries in three major Danish obstetric departments. The Aalborg-Odense study comprised all pregnant women attending routine antenatal care at two obstetric ...

Markers of risk for preterm delivery
Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 1999Clinical and experimental evidence indicate that PTD results from four primary pathogenic mechanisms: activation of the maternal or fetal HPA axis; amniochorionic-decidual or systemic inflammation; decidual hemorrhage; and, pathologic distention of the myometrium.

Biopsychosocial predictors of preterm delivery
Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2011The aim of this study is to integrate a psychosomatic approach in the investigation of causes for preterm deliveries.A prospective study including 589 pregnant women between the 13(th) and the 24(th) gestation week (GW) was performed. In addition to medical and sociodemographic risk factors for preterm birth, factors such as biographical information ...
