Preterm labor (PTL) is a severe issue of neonatal healthcare because its related to preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and the most common reason for antenatal hospitalizations. The PTB rate is about 11% globally and it is similar in the United States. PTB poses a significant economic burden on the healthcare system. Ear...

... 9 Given that the underlying pathophysiological process of disease is often mediated by a cluster of closely linked molecules and dynamic and complex molecular changes throughout pregnancy, prediction based on peripheral blood transcriptomic signatures may offer higher accuracy and entail less time constraints than traditional strategies based on a single (or a few) markers. 10,11 Therefore, this study aimed to screen for a transcriptomic signature that is essential for PTB occurrence and assess its predictive value for PTB in early, mid, and late pregnancy and in women with threatened preterm labor (TPTL). It also aimed to provide a new clinical strategy for assessing PTB risk at earlier weeks of gestation. ...
