Stress and Preterm Birth: Neuroendocrine, Immune/Inflammatory, and Vascular Mechanisms
Abstract
A growing literature suggests that maternal psychological and social stress is a significant and independent risk factor for a range of adverse reproductive outcomes including preterm birth. Several issues remain to be addressed about stress and vulnerability to stress during pregnancy. Of these, perhaps one of the most important questions relates to biologic plausibility. Parturition, the process that results in birth, is a biological phenomenon. Very little empirical research to date, however, has examined the role of biological processes, if any, as mediators of the relationship between stress and preterm birth. In this paper we discuss the maternal, placental, and fetal neuroendocrine, immune/inflammatory, and vascular processes that may bridge the experience of social adversity before and during pregnancy and the biological outcome of preterm birth.

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.
