UNRAVELING THE PRECURSORS: A CASE-CONTROL STUDY ON RISK FACTORS FOR PRETERM LABOUR

The aim of this case-control study was to investigate the risk factors associated with preterm labour. Preterm labour is a significant cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, and identifying its precursors can contribute to improved prenatal care and preventive strategies. This study examined various potential risk factors and their associations with preterm labour using a case-control design. The findings shed light on the underlying factors contributing to preterm labour and can guide healthcare professionals in identifying high-risk individuals for targeted interventions.
