The causes of preterm birth are multifactorial, likely contributing to why significant progress in reducing the incidence has been slow. This Element contains the most up-to-date evidence regarding the aetiology, epidemiology, and management of pregnancies at risk of, or complicated by, spontaneous preterm birth and preterm pre-labour rupture of membranes. It concentrates largely on those aspects potentially amenable to preventative intervention (i.e. cervical dysfunction and premature uterine contractility), as well as strategies to improve outcomes for infants born prematurely.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eCommentary\/Editor's Summary\u003cbr\u003e Key References\u003cbr\u003e Definitions and Epidemiology\u003cbr\u003e Pathophysiology\u003cbr\u003e Consequences of PTB\u003cbr\u003e Clinical Risk Factors for PTB\u003cbr\u003e Management Options for Spontaneous PTB and PPROM.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Gynaecology \u0026amp; obstetrics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Gynaecology \u0026amp; obstetrics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Gynaecology%20\u0026amp;%20obstetrics%20%5BMJT%5D%22\"\u003eMJT\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52516388700440,"sku":"9781009508919","price":17.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/spontaneous-preterm-labour-and-birth-including-preterm-pre-labour-rupture-of-membranes-paperback-softback-9781009508919","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
