The article relates proceedings during the workshop "Timing of Indicated Late Pre-Term and Early Term Births," held in February 2011. The workshop's participants identified various placental, fetal, and maternal conditions that may necessitate late pre-term or early term delivery in order to avert or minimize undesirable outcomes to both mothers and children, as well as developed consensus recommendations for the optimal gestational age for delivery in relation to such conditions.
