DOI: 10.1007/s00404-025-08117-0
Abstract: Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) is a significant global health concern, contributing to adverse outcomes for both pregnant women and newborns. Early identification of women with risk of sPTB is essential for mitigating these negative effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2016.10.002
Abstract: BACKGROUND: There is a lack of consensus on the optimal transvaginal cervical length for determining risk for spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies. Change in transvaginal cervical length over time may reflect early activation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(18)33207-8
Abstract: Spontaneous preterm delivery (sPTD) is associated with an increased risk of CVD later in life, but causes of this phenomenon are not well understood. The aim of this study was to assess vascular function over… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-09285-9
Abstract: Failure to predict and understand the causes of preterm birth, the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, have limited effective interventions and therapeutics. From a cohort of 2000 pregnant women, we performed a nested… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-41163-8
Abstract: Our goal was to assess whether quantitative fetal fibronectin (qfFN) is associated with spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) after laser surgery for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). qfFN was collected within 24 hours before and after laser surgery.… read more here.
