Key Points

Preterm birth was observed in 14.4% of the women, indicating a significant concern for maternal and neonatal health.
Median ferritin levels showed no significant difference between preterm (15.81µg/L) and term births (16.11µg/L), suggesting limited predictive value.
Preeclampsia and antepartum hemorrhage were more common in preterm birth cases, emphasizing the need for monitoring maternal health.
Ferritin levels increased notably in the second trimester among the preterm group, highlighting a potential area for further research.
