For instance, in a summary of biomarkers to predict preterm birth, of 30 novel biomarkers studied, only 3 had a positive likelihood ratio greater than 10 and these were only evaluated in one small study.…”

“…[23][24][25] The cohort consisted of women with periviablepreterm singleton pregnancies between 22-33 6/7 weeks GA who presented to the labor and delivery triage unit with complaints concerning for spontaneous PTB, including contractions, cramping, vaginal bleeding, vaginal pressure, leaking vaginal fluid, and abdominal or back pain.…”

High preterm birth at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital as a national referral hospital in Indonesia

“…16 Regular ANC was one of the independent protective factors for having preterm birth. It had been described previously by Bastek,17 which stated that no prenatal care was one of the components in prediction models of women for having delivery before 37 weeks.…”

“…Wanita dengan kehamilan tunggal (OR 0,17; 95% IK 0,25), presentasi kepala (OR 0,75; 95% IK 0,89), dan kunjungan antenatal yang teratur (OR 0,67; 95% IK 0,84) …”
