Implication

Historical cohort study investigates variations in preterm birth types and timing in New South Wales, highlighting significant risk factors.

Key Points

  • Iatrogenic preterm birth was high, constituting 49.2% of all preterm births, primarily occurring in the late preterm period.
  • Of the total 7940 preterm births, 3909 were iatrogenic, indicating a need for improved management strategies in antenatal care.
  • Historical cohort study utilized data from 113,244 singleton pregnancies across four health districts to assess risk factors and timing.
  • Variation in gestational age at birth was notable among higher capacity maternity hospitals, suggesting differing management approaches.
