Preterm birth: Risk factors and treatment

Research output: PhD ThesisPhd-Thesis - Research and graduation internal

Abstract

Preterm birth, defined as a delivery before 37 completed weeks of gestation, is a major cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity worldwide. The pathogenesis of preterm birth is complex and largely unknown, and understanding of risk factors remains poor. Ideally, identification of risk factors will lead to effective interventions that reduce or prevent preterm birth. The first part of this thesis
