The Contribution of Birth Defects to Spontaneous Preterm Birth
American Journal of Perinatology, 2007The purpose of this study was to determine if and which birth defects (BDs) are risk factors for spontaneous preterm delivery, and to quantify that risk. A case-control study of spontaneously delivered term (n = 21,093) and preterm (n = 2937; 12.2%) liveborn neonates, between 1996 and 2000, at Ramón Sardá Maternity Hospital of Buenos Aires, was ...

Predicting Spontaneous Preterm Birth
Irish medical journal, 2020Preterm birth is defined as delivery prior to 37 completed weeks gestation. It is a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality globally 1 with the incidence in Ireland approximately 7%. While advancements in perinatal care have improved survival rates for babies born early, significant complications can arise from pre-term birth including the ...

Overview of Spontaneous Preterm Birth
Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2014The phenotype of spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) refers to the biochemical and physical characteristics present at the time of preterm delivery. These are the result of the processes that cause this complication. The lack of understanding about the etiologies and our inability to prevent SPTB are because of the complex nature and multiple processes ...

Diabetes mellitus and the risk of preterm birth with regard to the risk of spontaneous preterm birth
The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2010It is internationally agreed that diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with increased maternal and fetal morbidity and long-term complications. To avoid these complications, it is often necessary to induce birth before term. The impact of DM on spontaneous preterm birth (spontaneous labor, preterm premature rupture of membranes and/or cervical ...

Spontaneous preterm birth: A case-control study
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1991Information on demographic characteristics, life-style, and reproductive, prenatal, and medical history was obtained from the prenatal records of 140 women with a preterm delivery (cases) and 280 women with a term delivery (controls) matched by age. Compared with controls, a greater proportion of cases were nonwhite, never married, and educated less ...

Protein Profiling of Women with Spontaneous Preterm Birth
Pharmacology, 2015<b><i>Background:</i></b> Preterm birth (PTB) is the largest cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in the world. Ethnicity disparity in the occurrence of PTB has been associated with the cytokine function. In this study, we aimed at examining cytokine levels in women with spontaneous preterm and term births.
