Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Neonatal Health
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Preterm birth affects 10% of newborns globally, posing significant risks for neonatal mortality and lifelong health complications.
  • Existing research requires large sample sizes to identify effective preterm birth prediction and prevention strategies.
  • The Washington University Prematurity Research Cohort Study was initiated to address these needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a prospective, longitudinal cohort for in-depth investigation into the causes of preterm birth.
  • To collect comprehensive data and biological samples for future research endeavors.
  • To explore underlying physiological factors contributing to preterm birth through targeted projects.

Main Methods:

  • Recruited pregnant patients between January 2017 and January 2020, enrolling them before 20 weeks gestation.
  • Collected demographic and lifestyle data, maternal blood, placenta, and cord blood samples.
  • Conducted three specialized projects: cervical imaging, circadian rhythm analysis, and uterine imaging (MRI/electromyometrial).

Main Results:

  • Enrolled 1260 participants, with 14.1% experiencing preterm birth (6.1% spontaneous).
  • The cohort was diverse, with 56% Black/African American participants and 15% with a history of preterm birth.
  • Feasibility demonstrated for complex data collection, including imaging and biological samples, across projects.

Conclusions:

  • Successfully demonstrated the feasibility of recruiting and retaining a diverse cohort for a complex, longitudinal pregnancy study.
  • The collected extensive clinical, imaging, survey, and biological data will facilitate research into preterm birth physiology.
  • The study provides a foundation for developing novel prediction and prevention methods for preterm birth.
