    Tocolysis, used to delay preterm birth, was necessary in 49% of cases. The end of tocolysis to delivery interval (TEDI) helps assess treatment necessity, but a clear prospective criterion remains elusive.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatal Medicine
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Preterm birth remains a significant challenge in perinatal medicine.
    • Tocolytic therapy is commonly used to prolong gestation in cases of threatened preterm labor.
    • Fenoterol has been a frequently used agent for long-term tocolysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To retrospectively evaluate the indication for tocolytic therapy based on the interval between its cessation and delivery.
    • To identify potential criteria for determining the necessity of tocolysis in pregnant patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective randomization of pregnant patients receiving long-term tocolysis (28-38 weeks gestation).
    • Measurement of the interval between the end of tocolytic therapy and delivery (TEDI).

  • Comparison of obstetrical parameters between groups with short (≤72 hours) and long (>72 hours) TEDI.

    • Main Results:

    • Tocolysis was deemed necessary in 49% of the studied cases.
    • Patients with a shorter TEDI (≤72 hours) were more likely to have required tocolysis.
    • Primipara patients, on average, had shorter TEDI compared to multipara patients.
    • No easily identifiable uniform criterion emerged for prospectively identifying patients delivering within 72 hours of tocolysis cessation.

    Conclusions:

    • The end of tocolysis to delivery interval (TEDI) offers a retrospective method for assessing tocolysis necessity.
    • Current methods lack a clear prospective criterion to predict delivery within 72 hours of discontinuing tocolytic therapy.
    • Further research is needed to address unsolved problems in the indication for tocolytic treatment in preterm labor.
