Effective measures for the prevention of late abortions and premature births

E Saling. Early Hum Dev. 1992 Jun-Jul.

Abstract

After a retrospective study, more than 70% of premature births have been caused by ascending infections. With the use of a specially concerted diagnostic and therapeutic prevention programme, a reduction of 30% in very low birthweight prematures (less than 1500 g) has been achieved in in-hospital care and of about 50% in outpatient care.
