Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

A multicentre, multidisciplinary register will be created to provide a source of valuable information on obstetrical and neonatal practices and link them with obstetrical, neonatal and long-term outcomes of preterm labour and birth

Time frame: 2017 - 2030

Prediction model

The prediction tool for true preterm labour (TPL) will be developed using individual risk factors, symptomatology, tocography, cervical change and a biomarker test, followed by a decision-making model, both based on individual data, evidence and experience.

Time frame: 2017 - 2030

Secondary Outcomes

The interval between starting corticosteroids and delivery

The interval between administration of antenatal corticosteroids and birth will be assessed and will be related to the short and long term outcome of preterm born children

Time frame: 2012-2020
