Epidemiology and environmental factors in preterm labour
چکیده انگلیسی

An epidemiological and environmental approach is the appropriate starting point to understanding preterm labour. Although there are multiple aetiologies it seems likely that anthropometric and environmental risk factors in combination with inherent genetic susceptibilities contribute to an increased risk of preterm labour for certain women. Poct 2pulation-based studies identifying risk factors and quantifying outcomes facilitate informed counselling and provide a framework for developing prediction tools. Carefully conducted case-control and cohort studies identify associations that may contribute to an understanding of causation. A combined approach encompassing epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical research is required to understand the aetiologies, prevention and optimal management of preterm labour. This review focuses on the epidemiology of preterm labour and the role of environmental factors.
