Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

Register

Time frame: 2017 - 2030

A multicentre, multidisciplinary register will be created to provide a source of valuable information on obstetrical and neonatal practices and link them with obstetrical, neonatal and long-term outcomes of preterm labour and birth
Prediction model

Time frame: 2017 - 2030

The prediction tool for true preterm labour (TPL) will be developed using individual risk factors, symptomatology, tocography, cervical change and a biomarker test, followed by a decision-making model, both based on individual data, evidence and experience.

Secondary outcomes

The interval between starting corticosteroids and delivery

Time frame: 2012-2020

The interval between administration of antenatal corticosteroids and birth will be assessed and will be related to the short and long term outcome of preterm born children
