Abstract

Preterm birth remains a major contributor to perinatal death worldwide and the second most common cause-of-death in children younger than 5 years after pneumonia. Unfortunatelly there are only few prophylactic therapies that are available and they do not work for all women. The most important strategies in prophylactics are: progesterone and cervical cerclage, which are effective in selected women with singleton pregnancy.
