Preterm Labour [Article in Bosnian]

Gordana Grgic, Gordana Bogdanovic

Abstract


All labour which occurs at a gestation period less than 37 weeks of gestation is called premature labour. Premature labour is the most common complication in the second half of pregnancy, and delivery is fol­lowed by risks for the baby. The incidence is 7 to 10% of all deliveries. It is the main cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The etiology of preterm labour is unknown in 40 to 70% of cases. This study shows the etiological factors of preterm labour, patophisiology, preterm newborn deliveries and treat­ment of preterm labour. Early identification of high risk pregnant women should be the best way for effective prevention.
