Philadelphia Preterm Prevention Project

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Preterm Birth

In brief

This is a randomized clinical trial in which all Philadelphia resident women experiencing a pre-term birth (PTB) at \<34 weeks of gestation (GA) over an 18 month period will be approached at the time of the postpartum hospital stay. Consenting women will be randomized into a usual care group or an interconceptional intervention targeting five risk conditions, all of which increase systemic inflammation. Our primary objective in this study is to assess the efficacy of our interconceptional intervention on the rate of repeat PTB.
