Risk reduction for recurrent preterm birth

Risk reduction for recurrent preterm birth refers to clinical interventions aimed at preventing repeat delivery before 37 completed weeks of gestation in pregnant individuals with a documented history of prior spontaneous preterm delivery or second-trimester loss Because a prior preterm delivery significantly multiplies the baseline risk of subsequent early parturition, targeted prevention strategies aim to maintain uterine quiescence and cervical integrity to optimize gestational age at deliver...

Affecting the female reproductive system and the fetoplacental unit, this high-risk obstetric state is driven by multifactorial mechanisms that precipitate premature parturition Defining pathophysiologic processes include premature cervical remodeling or shortening, pathologic uterine contractility, subclinical intra-amniotic inflammation, decidual hemorrhage, and preterm prelabor rupture of membranes
