Pre-term labour: A study on evaluation of causes and outcome

CONCLUSION: Pre-maturity is a huge health and financial burden in rural and semi-urban central Gujarat. Pre-mature rupture of membranes, previous MTP, extreme physical activity, and maternal anaemia were the major risk factors linked with pre-term labour. Poor neonatal outcomes like LBW, IUGR, and a low Apgar score were significantly associated with the babies delivered pre-mature in our study.PMID:38605778 | PMC:PMC11006067 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_2411_22
