摘要
Although preterm birth (at <37 weeks' gestation) is sometimes indicated for the health of the mother or her fetus, spontaneous preterm births occur as a consequence of spontaneous preterm labor or preterm rupture of fetal membranes before the onset of labor. This review focuses on therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of spontaneous preterm labor and delivery. Copyright © 2007 Massachusetts Medical Society.
