Abstract:
Preterm birth (PTB) is a common complication in perinatal medicine, its high morbidity as well as the resulting complications and sequelae affect the quality of children's lives, or even cause death. It is crucial to early, accurate predict PTB and timely adopt scientific and reasonable intervention measures for reduction of the mortality of preterm infants and improve prognosis. Ultrasound is the most common method to predict PTB. The research progresses of ultrasound in predicting PTB were reviewed in this article.
