It is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality, as well as maternal morbidity. In fact, prematurity has both short- and long-term consequences for affected offspring and can leave these individuals with lifelong disabilities, even after the available interventions are attempted. While various risk factors for preterm birth are well-recognized, the etiology for preterm birth is multifactorial. Preterm parturition is a syndrome resulting from the premature activation of the common pathway of parturition, including an increased myometrial contractility; cervical ripening/dilatation and effacement; and membrane/decidual activation. Because the prevalence of preterm birth is so high, it is thought to put more financial, medical, and emotional stress on affected communities than any other perinatal issue. In past years, most of the research interest resulted in the prevention of preterm birth in order to alleviate the complications of prematurity. However, recent evidence suggests that the effect of preterm birth goes beyond the impact on the future health of both the mother and her offspring as well as the specific delivery in which preterm delivery has occurred. This book focuses on the risk factors, perinatal outcomes, and long-term consequences of this critical problem. 606 $aMedicine and Nursing$2bicssc 610 $a17-OHPC 610 $aantenatal corticosteroids 610 $aApgar score 610 $abetamethasone 610 $aelastography 610 $aextreme preterm birth 610 $agestational age 610 $ahigh-risk patients 610 $ahigh-risk pregnancy 610 $aLactobacillus 610 $along-term follow-up 610 $ametalloproteinases 610 $amicrobiome 610 $amicronized progesterone 610 $aMMP-8 610 $aMMP-9 610 $amortality 610 $an/a 610 $aneurologic morbidity 610 $aneurological 610 $aneurological morbidities 610 $aoffspring 610 $aophthalmic morbidities 610 $apediatric 610 $apediatric hospitalization 610 $aperinatal mortality 610 $aperinatal outcomes 610 $aplacental abruption 610 $apopulation-based study 610 $apreeclampsia 610 $apregnancy complications 610 $aprematurity 610 $apreterm birth 610 $apreterm delivery 610 $apreterm infant 610 $apreterm labor 610 $aprevention 610 $arecommendations 610 $arespiratory distress syndrome 610 $arespiratory morbidity 610 $aretinopathy of prematurity 610 $aretrospective cohort 610 $arisk factors 610 $ashortened cervix 610 $asmall for gestational age 610 $asystemic lupus erythematosus 610 $athreshold 610 $aultrasound 615 7$aMedicine and Nursing 700 $aSheiner$b Eyal$4edt$01279064 702 $aSheiner$b Eyal$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585936203321 996 $aAdvances in Preterm Delivery$93014504 997 $aUNINA
