Abstract:
We are continually reminded that the preterm birth rate has failed to improve; in fact, it has increased over the last 20 years. Much of this increase is related to the tremendous strides made by neonatologists and the resulting increased willingness of obstetricians to deliver preterm babies from hostile intrauterine environments. However, there is still much to learn concerning the pathogenesis, accurate early detection, treatment, and prevention of spontaneous preterm labor. This article concentrates on the clinical diagnosis and acute management of this enigmatic clinical problem.
