ABSTRACT
Preterm birth accounts for only 11% of live births but contributes to up to 75% of neonatal mortality and more than half of long-term morbidity. Targeted interventions to reduce the most common causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality include intrapartum group B Streptococcus prophylaxis, magnesium sulfate for fetal neuroprotection, antenatal corticosteroids for fetal lung maturity, latency antibiotics for preterm premature rupture of membranes, and tocolysis to allow corticosteroid administration and transfer to a tertiary care center. This article reviews the evidence for interventions to improve outcomes for fetuses at risk for preterm delivery at different gestational ages.
