Prematurity research

Prematurity research studies why certain babies are born too early, before 37 weeks of pregnancy, and explores ways to prevent and better manage these births. It involves understanding factors like maternal health, genetics, and environmental influences, as well as improving medical care for preterm infants. The goal is to reduce preterm birth rates and improve outcomes for these vulnerable babies, who may face health challenges due to early birth. This research helps inform clinical practices, public health strategies, and policies to support healthier pregnancies and newborns.
