“…We found that Apgar scores after 1 min and 5 min were significantly lower among LPT neonates. These findings were comparable to those reported by in an Indian tertiary care teaching hospital [31]. Also, LPT neonates had significantly lower birth weight and head circumference, which agrees with some earlier reports [12,32].…”

Background: The incidence of preterm births is increasing and has become a global health concern. This study aimed to compare the outcome of late preterm (LPT) to full term (FT) neonates at two large hospitals in Upper Egypt. Results: Out of 250 newborns included in the study, 180 (72%) were FT and 70 (28%) were LPT. More than half of the LPT newborns (52.9%) were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), compared with 26.7% of FT newborns. Delivery of LPT was associated with an increased risk of neonatal morbidity, including jaundice requiring phototherapy (34.3% vs. 7.8%), respiratory morbidities (32.9% vs. 13.9%), hypoglycemia (8.6% vs. 1.7 %), and convulsions (4.3% vs. 0.6%). Conclusions: LPT neonates were more susceptible to suffer from jaundice and respiratory distress among other morbidities. They also had a higher rate of NICU admission, longer duration of NICU stay, as well as a higher mortality rate. The best treatment of late prematurity is to prevent it. Public and professional awareness of the problems associated with late prematurity should be highlighted. Follow-up programs for early detection and intervention for long term complications are recommended.

“…In support of our findings, a study from Mandruzzato et al and Dey et al reported that parity was a risk factor for the early preterm birth. They did not find any significant association with late preterm birth [ 24 , 25 ].…”

“…Dey et al indicated that some maternal medical conditions, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and diabetes, are associated with an increased risk for preterm birth at the same time increase the incidence of late preterm birth [ 25 ]. The s e results support our findings that no significant association between maternal medical diseases and early preterm birth.…”

AIM:To investigate risk factors for early preterm birth.METHODS AND MATERIAL:A retrospective comparative study was conducted at Tabuk, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the period from January to December 2010. Five hundred and ninety-five patient’s files and delivery registry logbooks were reviewed, the following information was collected; demographic data, current and past obstetric histories. Then the early and late preterm births were compared for various risk factors. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 22) was used. The Chi-square and t-test were used to test the statistical significance and a P-value<0.05 considered significant.RESULTS:Prevalence of early preterm birth was found to be 2.5% in our study group. Women at risk for early preterm birth were: primigravidas (33.7% vs. 26.2% for control), P-value 0.039, OR 1.429 and 95% CI 0.982 - 2.079); multiple gestations (87.7% vs. 95.1% for control, P-value 0.002, OR 0.368 and 95% CI 0.196 - 0.688); and patients with a prior history of placental abruption (3.7% vs. 1.0% for control, P-value 0.027, OR3.928 and 95% CI 1.1360 - 13.586).CONCLUSIONS:Current study indicated that early preterm births differed from preterm as a whole; primigravida, multiple gestations and a history of placental abruption are independent risk factors for them.
