“…The contributing factors for PTB also include pregnancy interval [14], body mass Indexes(BMII) [11], antenatal care(ANC) [12,15,16], multiple pregnancy [17], antepartum hemorrhage(APH) [15],urinary tract infections(UTI) [11], premature rupture of membrane(PROM) [15,18], and pregnancy induced hypertension(PIH) [17,19]. Moreover, marital status [12], polyhydramnios or oligohydramnios and genitourinary infections [20], periodontal disease [11], ascending infection (bacteriuria) [21] and exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) [15,22] are included in contributing factors of PTB.…”

Background: Preterm birth (PTB) can be caused by different factors. The factors can be classified into different categories: socio demographic, obstetric, reproductive health, medical, behavioral and nutritional related. The objective of this review was identifying determinants of PTB among mothers who gave birth in East African countries. Methods: We have searched the following electronic bibliographic databases: PubMed, Google scholar, Cochrane library, AJOL (African journal online). Cross sectional, case control and cohort study published in English were included. There was no restriction on publication period. Studies with no abstracts and or full texts, editorials, and qualitative in design were excluded. Funnel plot was used to check publication bias. I-squared statistic was used to check heterogeneity. Pooled analysis was done by using fixed and random effect model. The Joanna Briggs Critical Appraisal Tools for review and meta-analysis was used to check the study quality. Results: A total of 58 studies with 134,801 participants were used to identify determinants of PTB. On pooled analysis, PTB was associated with age < 20 years (AOR 1.76, 95% CI: 1.33-2.32), birth interval less than 24 months (AOR 2.03, 95% CI 1.57-2.62), multiple pregnancy (AOR 3.44,95% CI: 3.02-3.91), < 4 antenatal care (ANC) visits (AOR 5.52, 95%

Background: Preterm is a major obstetrical challenge of health care. It is the top most cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality of neonatal deaths. The births of these neonates are at a greater risk of developmental disabilities, health and growth problems than neonates of full term. Aim and objective: To assess the risk factors and management associated with preterm deliveries and their outcomes. Materials & Methods: “A prospective observational cohort study” was conducted over a period of 6 months on 80 Preterm subjects, who were enrolled based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. A detailed questionnaire was used to record socio-demographic, clinical profile and prescribing management. Statistical analysis was performed by percentage method using parameters like mean, standard deviation. Results: The impact of incidence range in the present study was 31.52%. Maximum preterm deliveries were observed in the age group of 18-23 years (44%). Multiparous woman was at more risk for preterm i.e., about 51%. The commonest risk factor for preterm was Anemia (45%) followed by Pre-eclampsia (24%). The treatment prescribed for preterm was Betamethasone, Tidilon, Magnesium sulphate, Progesterone. The commonest neonatal outcome was found to be low birth weight with KMC and supplements of vitamins, iron, calcium as a therapy for their better recovery. Conclusion: The study suggests an urgent need for strengthening effective guidelines and appropriate counselling for prevention of preterm. Maintenance of good hygiene, adequate bed rest and proper antenatal care visits for the better outcomes. Keywords: preterm, multiparous, risk factors, neonatal outcomes, antenatal care, cohort.
