Abstract:
Premature birth is the single largest cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity in nonanomalous infants in developing countries. Advances in neonatal care have lead to increased survival and reduced short and long term morbidity for preterm infants. but the rate of preterm birth has actually increased. This review provides recent multifactorial approaches to treatment and prevention of preterm birth.
