Incidence, risk factors and outcomes of preterm live births in a tertiary health facility in Ghana

Abstract

Overall preterm livebirth incidence in the study compared favourably with global estimates. HDP and being employed were important risk factors and. suggest reducing workloads of pregnant women in formal employment may be beneficial. Targeted posting of specialists to aid adequate management of HDP at district hospitals and mitigating missed opportunities for IPTp need to be considered.
