ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Theaim:
To evaluate the prevalence of preterm birth and to determine the role of cervicitis as a cause of preterm birth in women in Ukraine. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Materials andmethods:
We conducted a retrospective multicentre cohort study from January 1st, 2019 to December 31st, 2021. This study included pregnant women aged 17-50 years admitted to the labor ward at the 13 hospitals from 10 regions of Ukraine.RESULTS:
Results:
Of the 8151 participants, the prevalence of preterm birth was 2226 (27.3%, [95% CI 26.8 - 27.8]) whereas 5925 (72.7% [95% CI 72.2-73.2]) delivered at term. Preterm birth associated with cervicitis was 76.3% (4,388/2666). History of cervicitis, maternal age, previous preterm labor or premature birth, and pregnancy with twins, triplets or other multiples were identified as independent risk factors of preterm birth.CONCLUSION:
Conclusions:
Preterm birth in Ukraine is widespread, the number of which tends to increase. Infection and inflammation of the cervix seem to play a significant role for preterm birth. Early detection and treatment of cervicitis can reduce the risk of preterm birth. Women who have a history of poor pregnancy outcomes are at greater risk of poor outcomes in following pregnancies. Health providers should be aware of this risk when treating patients with a history of poor pregnancy outcomes.Palavras-chave
