Oct 7, 2023 · Findings. An estimated 13·4 million (95% credible interval [CrI] 12·3–15·2 million) newborn babies were born preterm (<37 weeks) in 2020 (9·9% of all births [95% CrI 9·1–11·2]) compared with 13·8 million (12·7–15·5 million) in 2010 (9·8% of all births [9·0–11·0]) worldwide.
Feb 7, 2021 · A CL < 25 had a pooled positive likelihood ratio of 9.6 to predict preterm birth <28 weeks’ gestation. In the second meta-analyses comprising 21 studies in which gestational age at screening ranged from 15 to 32 weeks, it was suggested that the sensitivity and specificity for PTB < 34 weeks were 36% and 94%, respectively, for CL < 25 mm, and ...

PTB is difficult to predict. Prediction means to identify women at risk for preterm delivery within relatively short time interval (usually within 48 hours, 7–14 days). A test with high negative predictive value and a high positive predictive value would offer the best result.
Feb 28, 2024 · Schaaf et al. 53 predicted the risk of preterm birth with poor calibration and an AUC of 0.63 using a combined 13 potential predictors of preterm birth, including fetal sex and vaginal bleeding ...

The new estimates show that preterm births during 2014 ranged from 13·4% in North Africa to 8∙7% in Europe, though data on preterm birth in North Africa is very limited. The authors state that “Asian and sub-Saharan African countries accounted for 78·9% of livebirths and 81·1% of preterm births globally in 2014.”
The causes of preterm birth are complex and vary across countries and regions. There is however much that can be done to help prevent preterm births – starting with ensuring a positive pregnancy experience for women and girls. WHO recommends key interventions to help women enjoy good health and well-being before and throughout pregnancy, such as co...
While the new estimates are useful in helping to improve understanding of the global burden preterm births, it is challenging to estimate the true burden of preterm birth worldwide. In many countries, civil registration vital statistics data are not available, do not report on preterm birth and are incomplete. In countries where no preterm birth da...
May 10, 2023 · Preterm is defined as babies born alive before 37 weeks of pregnancy are completed. There are sub-categories of preterm birth, based on gestational age: moderate to late preterm (32 to 37 weeks). Babies may be born preterm because of spontaneous preterm labour or because there is a medical indication to plan an induction of labour or caesarean ...
Apr 15, 2024 · The greatest variation in scores was in “Editorial independence” (mean score 39.6%, IQR 21.9%–78.1%). Guidelines were most likely to score as “high quality” in the domains of “Clarity of presentation” (31/34, 91.2%) and “Scope and purpose” (23/34, 67.7%).
