Introduction: Preterm labor is the leading cause of perinatal morbimortality and has a significant socioeconomic impact. Preterm labor can be classified as early (< 28 weeks), intermediate (28-32 weeks) and late (32-37 weeks). Risk factors associated with preterm labor include African women, smoking, previous late abortion and/or preterm labor, cervix interventions, multiple pregnancy, short cervix and urinary and/or vaginal infections.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy constitute one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide. These disorders increase the risk of placental abruption, amongst others, an obstetric emergency that requires lifesaving procedures.
