Cervical screening for preterm delivery
Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2002The 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.

It has been noted for many years that preterm delivery is a condition that runs in families.

Recurrence risk for preterm delivery
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2007To estimate recurrence risk of preterm delivery in third births.We conducted a population-based cohort study of Missouri mothers who delivered 3 consecutive singleton live births during 1989-1997. The recurrence risk was computed for 4 cohorts based on prior preterm delivery status and adjusted using Mantel-Haenszel stratified analysis.The study ...

The Heritability of Preterm Delivery
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2005To study the heritability of preterm delivery.Women who delivered a singleton infant at less than 36 weeks of gestation were asked about their family history. Twenty-eight families were identified in which the proband had at least five first- or second-degree relatives with preterm delivery. An extensive genealogy database (GenDB) was constructed using

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1981
Abstract. One hundred and ten singleton breech infants with a birth‐weight less than 2500 g have been delivered at Huddinge University Hospital during the years 1972‐78. The cesarean section rate was 30.1 per cent. Vaginal and abdominal deliveries were compared with regard to perinatal mortality and asphyxial morbidity at birth.

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 ...
