Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2001
The chances and quality of survival depend on gestational age at birth. Why has PTD not decreased during the last decade, in spite of all the known risk factors? Perinatal data bases tend to include biomedical risk factors and are assembled and analysed retrospectively.

Cervical screening for preterm delivery

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2002
The ability of sonographic cervical length screening to detect those at risk of spontaneous preterm delivery has been extensively explored over the past few years. This applies both to high-risk and low-risk groups. Cervical length measurement appears to be superior to biochemical, microbiological or hormonal methods of screening.
