Preterm birth is the defining challenge to modern perinatal medicine. It is now clear that preterm birth is not caused by one pathologic process but many, some not identified. Prevention of preterm birth is possible if perinatal medicine, science, and society give the necessary priority to this most urgent problem of maternal, fetal, and neonatal patients.
早产是现代围产期医学面临的决定性挑战。现在已经明确，早产并非由单一病理过程所致，而是由多种病理过程引起，其中一些尚未明确。如果围产期医学、科学界和社会能对孕产妇、胎儿和新生儿这一最紧迫问题给予必要的优先关注，那么早产是可以预防的。
