17-Alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone vs. Placebo for Preventing of Recurrent Preterm Birth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials

Background: Preterm birth (PTB) is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality.Objective: To estimate the effect of 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHPC) compared to placebo in singleton gestations for reducing the risk of recurrent PTB and neonatal morbidity and mortality.Work Des...
