TL;DR: To better understand the epidemiology of preterm birth, the quality and volume of data needs to be improved, including standardisation of definitions, measurement, and reporting.

TL;DR: An overview of current knowledge (and limitations) on the global epidemiology of preterm birth, particularly around howPreterm birth is defined, measured, and classified, and what is known regarding its risk factors, causes, and outcomes is provided.

TL;DR: Care delivered by nurses, compared to care delivered by doctors, probably generates similar or better health outcomes for a broad range of patient conditions (low‐ or moderate‐certainty evidence): • Nurse‐led primary care may lead to slightly fewer deaths among certain groups of patients,Compared to doctor‐led care.

TL;DR: The authors' findings showed high scores among the most recent guidelines on maternal and perinatal health suggesting higher quality, however, there is still potential for improvement, especially in including different stakeholder views, transparency of guidelines regarding the role of the funding body and presentation of the guideline document.

TL;DR: This protocol describes the methods that will be used to identify, critically appraise and analyse all eligible preterm birth data, in order to develop global, regional and national level estimates of levels and trends in pre term birth rates for the period 1990 – 2014.
