The management of preterm labor*1
Abstract
Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and a substantial portion of all birth-related short- and long-term morbidity. Spontaneous preterm labor is responsible for more than half of preterm births. Its management is the topic of this review. Although there are many maternal characteristics associated with preterm birth, the etiology in most cases is not clear, although, for the earliest cases, the role of intrauterine infection is assuming greater importance. Most efforts to prevent preterm labor have not proven to be effective, and equally frustrating, most efforts at arresting preterm labor once started have failed. The most important components of management, therefore, are aimed at preventing neonatal complications through the use of corticosteroids and antibiotics to prevent group B streptococcal neonatal sepsis, and avoiding traumatic deliveries. Delivery in a medical center with an experienced resuscitation team and the availability of a newborn intensive care unit will ensure the best possible neonatal outcomes. Obstetric practices for which there is little evidence of effectiveness in preventing or treating preterm labor include the following: bed rest, hydration, sedation, home uterine activity monitoring, oral terbutaline after successful intravenous tocolysis, and tocolysis without the concomitant use of corticosteroids.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
