The Editorial on the Research Topic Advances in the Prevention and Treatment of Inflammation-Associated Preterm Birth
Despite the widely appreciated fact that preterm birth (PTB) is a syndrome and the potential consequence of many different pathways [1], there is unequivocal evidence that inflammation lies at the core of the majority of the pathophysiological causes of PTB
To place the discussions in the broader clinical context, Newnham et al describe the problem of PTB and major intervention strategies that are being applied in clinics around the world to prevent PTB
Summary
The Editorial on the Research Topic Advances in the Prevention and Treatment of Inflammation-Associated Preterm Birth. Despite the widely appreciated fact that preterm birth (PTB) is a syndrome and the potential consequence of many different pathways [1], there is unequivocal evidence that inflammation lies at the core of the majority of the pathophysiological causes of PTB. While ascending bacterial infection is a important and well-studied cause of inflammation-associated PTB in very preterm deliveries, other “sterile” causes are dominant at later gestational ages.
