Preterm labour.

Current opinion in obstetrics & gynecology - 1 Apr 2002

Terzidou Vasso, Bennett Phillip R

Abstract excerpt

Studies in the past year have clarified the roles of inflammatory mediators in preterm labour. Exploration of possible genetic predisposition is just beginning. Ultrasound measurement of cervical length has the potential to predict women at risk of preterm delivery several weeks before it occurs. Biochemical testing such as fetal fibronectin can possibly increase its predictive value and differentiate true...
