Spontaneous preterm labor is a complex process characterized by the interplay of multiple different pathways. Prevention of preterm labor and delivery is also complicated. The most effective interventions for prevention of preterm birth (PTB) are progestin prophylaxis and lifestyle modifications, with cerclage placement also playing a role in selected populations. Interventions such as activity modification, home tocometry, and routine antibiotic use have fallen out of favor because of lack of effectiveness and possibility of harm. The solution to the problem of PTB remains elusive, and researchers and clinicians must collaborate to find a cure for preterm labor.
自发性早产是一个复杂的过程,其特征是多种不同途径相互作用。预防早产和分娩也很复杂。预防早产最有效的干预措施是孕激素预防和生活方式改变,宫颈环扎术在特定人群中也发挥作用。诸如改变活动方式、家庭宫缩监测和常规使用抗生素等干预措施,由于缺乏有效性和可能造成伤害,已不再受到青睐。早产问题的解决方案仍然难以捉摸,研究人员和临床医生必须合作寻找治疗早产的方法。
