Understanding the Complexities of Preterm Birth: Causes, Impacts, and Interventions

Nancy Kim

Preterm birth, the delivery of an infant before 37 weeks of gestation, remains a critical public health concern
worldwide. This phenomenon introduces substantial challenges to maternal and neonatal health, often leading to
short-term and long-term complications. This abstract provides an overview of the multifaceted nature of preterm
birth, exploring its causes, consequences, and current interventions. By understanding the complexities of preterm
birth, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers can collaboratively work towards effective preventive
strategies and improved outcomes for both mothers and their infants.
