Trends in preterm birth in the Netherlands in 2011 –2019: A population‐based study among singletons and multiples

ConclusionsIn the Netherlands, between 2011 and 2019, PTB decreased, mainly due to a reduction in late PTB, and more in iatrogenic than in spontaneous PTB. Focus for the near future should be on specific subgroups in which the decline was not visible, such as women with a low socioeconomic status or a young age.
