Care for women with prior preterm birth
JD Iams, V Berghella�- American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2010 - Elsevier
Women who have delivered an infant between 16 and 36 weeks' gestation have an
increased risk of preterm birth in subsequent pregnancies. The risk increases with more than
1 preterm birth and is inversely proportional to the gestational age of the previous preterm
birth. African American women have rates of recurrent preterm birth that are nearly twice that
of women of other backgrounds. An approximate risk of recurrent preterm birth can be
estimated by a comprehensive reproductive history, with emphasis on maternal race, the�…

OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17P) for
prevention of preterm birth (PTB) in women with prior spontaneous PTB (SPTB) and cervical
length (CL)< 25 mm. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted planned secondary analysis of the
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development-
sponsored randomized trial evaluating cerclage for women with singleton gestations, prior
SPTB (17-33 6/7 weeks), and CL< 25 mm between 16-22 6/7 weeks. Women were stratified�…
