Inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome can prevent sterile intra-amniotic inflammation, preterm labor/birth, and adverse neonatal outcomes†.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the alarmin S100B can induce sterile intra-amniotic inflammation, preterm labor/birth, and adverse neonatal outcomes by activating the NLRP3 inflammasome, which can be prevented by inhibiting such a pathway.

Cervical pessary to prevent preterm birth in asymptomatic high-risk women: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Current evidence does not support the use of cervical pessary to prevent preterm birth or improve perinatal outcomes in singleton or twin gestations with a short cervix and in unselected twingestations.

The value of oral micronized progesterone in the prevention of recurrent spontaneous preterm birth: a randomized controlled trial

TL;DR: The role of oral micronized progesterone in preventing recurrent spontaneous preterm delivery and the effective types and doses to be used have not yet been thoroughly investigated.

In an in-vitro model using human fetal membranes, 17-α hydroxyprogesterone caproate is not an optimal progestogen for inhibition of fetal membrane weakening.

TL;DR: The inhibitory effects of 17‐OHPC on TNF‐&agr;– and thrombin‐induced fetal membrane weakening in vitro were characterized and it is speculated that progestogens other than 17‐alpha hydroxyprogesterone caproate may be more efficacious in preventing preterm premature rupture of the fetal membranes–related spontaneous preterm birth.

Births: final data for 2013.

TL;DR: Birth rates declined for women in their 20s and increased for most age groups of women aged 30 and over in 2013, and measures of unmarried childbearing were down in 2013 from 2012.

Births: Final Data for 2015.

TL;DR: This report presents 2015 data on U.S. births according to a wide variety of characteristics, including maternal age, live-birth order, race and Hispanic origin, marital status, attendant at birth, method of delivery, period of gestation, birthweight, and plurality.

Cost of hospitalization for preterm and low birth weight infants in the United States.

TL;DR: Costs per infant hospitalization were highest for extremely preterm infants, although the larger number of moderately preterm/low birth weight infants contributed more to the overall costs, suggesting that major infant and pediatric cost savings could be realized by preventing preterm birth.
