Abstract

BACKGROUND: Preterm Birth Prevention and Management.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize recent Recommendation for PTB and identify areas of improvement such as cervical length screening: treating asymptomatic bacteriuria.

Consensus was that we can predict preterm birth by identification of risk factors and cervical length screening in high risk pregnancies. Prevention can be done by threating asymptomatic bacteriuria, screening for bacterial vaginosis and use of progesterone support. Cervical cerclage also place important in prevention of preterm birth.
