[Epidemiology of preterm birth: current trends].

چکیده
O nascimento pré-termo – antes da 37a semana de gestação – é o problema perinatal atual mais importante, pois está associado à morbidade e mortalidade significativas no início da vida. Sua prevalência é elevada e está aumentando em países desenvolvidos e em algumas cidades brasileiras, nas quais também é o principal fator que favorece a mortalidade infantil, principalmente no período perinatal. No Brasil, com as informações provenientes do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC), não é possível estimar-se sua prevalência devido à baixa confiabilidade dos dados referentes à idade gestacional. Sendo assim, são necessários estudos populacionais para se avaliar a sua prevalência e evolução ao longo do tempo.

Trends in preterm birth and neonatal mortality among blacks and whites in the United States from 1989 to 1997.
Preterm birth, a major determinant of infant mortality, has been increasing in recent years. The authors examined trends in preterm birth and its determinants by using the US birth and infant death files for 1989-1997. The impact of trends in preterm birth rates on neonatal and infant mortality was also evaluated. Among Whites, preterm births (<37 completed weeks of gestation) increased from 8....
متن کاملBorn Too Soon: The global epidemiology of 15 million preterm births

متن کاملJapanese secular trends in birthweight and the prevalence of low birthweight infants during the last three decades: A population-based study
Since low birthweight has been correlated with both neonatal and long-term health, we performed this epidemiological study to evaluate the Japanese secular trends in mean birthweight and the prevalence of preterm/term low birthweight infants during the last three decades. We used population-based birth certificate data from January 1979 to December 2010. Time trends were analysed using a linear...
متن کاملTrends in Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Exposure and Preterm Birth: Use of Smoking Bans and Direct ETS Exposure Assessments in Study Designs.
For decades, many studies have linked maternal smoking to an increased risk of preterm birth. As a result, the scientific community has long hypothesized that exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), commonly referred to as second-hand smoke, is also associated with an increased risk of preterm birth. Multiple studies have examined this proposed association through different strategies an...
متن کاملNational, regional, and worldwide estimates of preterm birth rates in the year 2010 with time trends since 1990 for selected countries: a systematic analysis and implications.
BACKGROUND Preterm birth is the second largest direct cause of child deaths in children younger than 5 years. Yet, data regarding preterm birth (<37 completed weeks of gestation) are not routinely collected by UN agencies, and no systematic country estimates nor time trend analyses have been done. We report worldwide, regional, and national estimates of preterm birth rates for 184 countries in ...
