摘要
Preterm birth is the final common pathway of a series of different physiopathological processes, so it is considered a syndrome. Spontaneous preterm birth represents two thirds of preterm deliveries. Prevention can be primary or secondary, and is basically focused on prediction, which is currently done by risk calculators that combine medical history, cervical length and fetal fibronectin. Vaginal progesterone reduces the rate of spontaneous preterm birth to 35-40%, if used from week 16 through week 34.
