Preterm births have been a challenge to obstetricians and paediatricians. Preterm births
affect all population irrespective of age, race and economic status due to lack of seriousness and
awareness among the pregnant women. Preterm birth is one of the leading causes of infant
morbidity and mortality, amounting to billions of dollars each year, thus increasing the cost for
health care. Proper awareness programs about preterm birth may help the women population to
know and understand better the signs and symptoms of preterm labour. Preterm birth is a complex
cluster of problems with a set of overlapping factors of influence. Its causes may include individuallevel
behavioral and psychosocial factors, neighborhood characteristics, environmental exposures,
medical conditions, infertility treatments, biological factors and genetics. Many of these factors
occur in combination, particularly in those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged or who are
members of racial and ethnic minority groups. The empirical investigation was carried out to draw
correlation between preterm birth and eventuality through this study.
