Abstract

The article discusses a study which investigated the trends in and treatment of preterm births in 39 countries with very high human development index (VHHDI). Study authors examined the factors that increase preterm births in the U.S. between 1989 and 2004, and the prevalence of preterm birth in 39 countries based on target population, incremental coverage increase and intervention efficacy. They suggested a conservative target of five percent relative reduction in preterm birth rates by 2015.
