Why is it important?
Preterm births account for 75% of perinatal mortality and more than half the long-term morbidity worldwide and unfortunately to date, no identifiable cause is found for spontaneous preterm labor. This study was done to know the prevalence of PTB in one of the big hospitals in Sudan.
