Study Notes
Preterm Labor Statistics
- In 2019, approximately 50% of preterm labor deaths could have been prevented with current affordable interventions.
- In 2020, the reported range of preterm births across countries was 5-18%.
- In the Upper Egypt study, around 70% of neonates were classified as late preterm babies.
Recurrence Rate of Preterm Labor
- The reported recurrence rate of preterm labor (PTL) in subsequent pregnancies for women with a history of PTL is approximately 15-30%.
- Recognizing the recurrence rate of preterm labor is important because it allows for targeted interventions and improved prenatal care.
Global Goals and Preterm Labor
- The global goal that aims to reduce neonatal mortality and under-5 years mortalities by 2030 is the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.
Maternal Risk Factors
- A maternal risk factor for preterm labor among the general population is hypertension.
- A condition NOT listed as a maternal factor related to preterm labor is thyroid disease.
Challenges of Preterm Labor
- Reliable prediction of preterm labor activation is challenging due to its complex and multifactorial nature.
- Only 20-30% of preterm births are medically required, indicating that the majority of preterm births may be preventable with appropriate interventions.
