Abstract
Preterm delivery is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as occurring before 37 weeks of pregnancy or in less than 259 days following the start of a woman's last menstrual cycle The mortality rate for children under the age of five is extremely concerning. Prematurity is the leading cause of death before the age of five around the world, and even when exceptional medical care is provided, children who survive still face long-term physical, developmental, neurological, and cognitive problems. According to the World Health Organization, 15 million babies are born prematurely each year, at least three weeks before their due dates. The top obstetricians, neonatologists, geneticists, microbiologists, immunologists, epidemiologists, health policy specialists, and bioengineers at Stanford are still conducting research to learn the main reason or causes of preterm delivery as well as the science of preterm birth This article reviewed how preterm birth occurs and the risk factors in pregnant women. The conclusion of the review may eventually help experts to detect and reduce preterm deliveries, giving more kids a safe arrival and a healthy start in life.
