Preterm Labor

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2015
Obstetricians play a relevant role in minimizing neonatal morbidity and mortality for women in preterm labor.

Ambulatory Management of Preterm Labor

Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2012
The majority of patients with preterm labor will deliver at term, and universal treatment of preterm labor with tocolytics and antenatal corticosteroids results in widespread overtreatment while benefitting a minority of patients. Ambulatory strategies for preventing preterm birth and identifying at-risk patients are discussed.
