View Latest Version
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Dean Liu and Version 1 by lee reicher.

Preterm birth is considered one of the main etiologies of neonatal death, as well as short- and long-term disability worldwide.

  • short cervix
  • cervical insufficiency
  • spontaneous preterm birth
  • transvaginal ultrasound
  • preterm birth
