DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2019.05.032
Abstract: BACKGROUND Congenital uterine anomalies (CUA) are associated with late miscarriage and spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). OBJECTIVES Our aim was to 1) determine the rate of sPTB in each type of CUA and 2) assess the… read more here.

233. Risk of cardiovascular mortality in women with a history of spontaneous preterm birth: A nationwide cohort study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Pregnancy Hypertension"
DOI: 10.1016/j.preghy.2018.08.098
Abstract: Introduction Data suggest an association between a history of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in later life. Therefore, we hypothesized that women with a history of sPTB have a higher cardiovascular mortality… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41390-019-0292-0
Abstract: The human condition has many determinants. Although some of the most important are due to genetics, their fundamental contributions to various phenotypes are only apparent through gene expression. This is in large part determined by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-68329-z
Abstract: There is much interest in the role of innate immune system proteins (antimicrobial peptides) in the inflammatory process associated with spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). After promising pilot work, we aimed to validate the association between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/a-1673-0280
Abstract: OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether the levels of complement and other inflammatory and angiogenic mediators in cervicovaginal fluid (CVF) are independently associated with intra-amniotic infection and/or inflammation (IAI) and imminent spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/a-1973-7482
Abstract: Abstract Objective Preterm birth (PTB, birth before 37 gestational weeks) is the leading cause of neonatal death and a major challenge for obstetric and neonatal care. About two-thirds of PTBs are spontaneous PTB (sPTB), of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/olq.0000000000001654
Abstract: Among pregnant women at a safety-net hospital in Atlanta, GA, Trichomonas vaginalis prevalence was high (257 of 1629 [16%]), but T. vaginalis was not associated with an increased risk of spontaneous preterm birth. Background Trichomonas… read more here.
