Introduction Preterm birth is still a major health problem throughout the world. Preterm birth results in 75% of neonatal mortality. We sought to identify risk factors which cause preterm birth. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study assessed all preterm neonates born in Asali Hospital in Khorram Abad (either by NVD or C/S) during the first 6 months of 2007. Sampling method was censu...

UNLABELLED Each birth which has happened before gestation period of 37 weeks of gestation and which is not related to a degree of birth difficulty is called premature birth. Different researches pointed out that C-reactive protein (CRP) can be used as a possible marker of idiopathic preterm delivery. RESEARCH GOALS WERE To examine reliability of CRP in mothers serum as a marker of premature b...

Introduction: Prematurity remains the main cause of mortality and morbidity in infants and a problem in the care of pregnant women world-wide. This study describes the risk factors for having a live preterm delivery in Bandar Abbas Shariati Hospital. Methods: In this case-control study, we studied 300 neonates who were borned in Shariati hospital in 2011 and divided them into two groups: case g...

BACKGROUND Although the survival rate of premature infants has improved, the prevalence of premature birth has not changed or has even increased. The purpose of this study is to analyze the demographic, psychosocial support, family planning, and health behavior risk factors for premature birth. METHODS This county-based, cross-sectional study collected information on 1,146 first-time mothers,...

This paper reports a statistical study of mortality in about 2 500 premature mice at birth and during neonatal development. The premature mice were removed by caesarean section and reanimated for 30 min.; surviving mice as well as newborns delivered vaginally on day 20 of pregnancy (control mice) were raised from birth to day 20 by nursing mothers spontaneously delivered at the same time. The m...

Objective: To detect the changes of plasma fibrinogen and antithrombin III activity in premature infants of different gestational age and those with maternal pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) or not after birth, and discuss its clinical significance. Method: 51 premature infants with gestational age of less than 34 weeks and 45 premature infants of 34-37 weeks were selected. Based on whether...

a casual comparative study was made to determine the effect of pregnant women's working conditions on   pregnancy outcome (fetal death, gestational age and birth weight).   600 women, delivered or treated for spontaneous abortion in eleven hospitals of tehran, were interviewed, 200   were working women (the study group) and 400 housewives (the control group).   for collecting information a...

Premature birth is one of the major problems worldwide. Different methods have been researched and used to detect preterm from past present. The most commonly ones are; tocodynamometer device Transvaginal Cervix Length, Bishop Score ElectroHysteroGram (EHG) signal. Studies shown that it widely in estimating risk using EHG signals. In studies, feature extraction was made signals estimated with v...

Detecting high risk of preterm birth (PB) early makes its prevention possible. The aim the work was to develop a mathematical predictive model for assessing based on quantitative analysis vaginal microbiota in first trimester pregnancy. study included 199 pregnant women, i.e. 41 pregnancies that ended birth, and 158 — term birth. Vaginal analyzed all patients 1st pregnancy by real-time PCR (qPC...
