Abstract
In many parts of the world, premature labor can lead to neonatal death and other serious health problems. We examined the most important factors that influence preterm labor. The case group was selected from eligible samples, and the control group was created using clipper-matched sampling from mothers with full-term labor in each sample from the case group. The 28-item General Health Questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire were used to collect data. A final analysis of 52 cases and the same number of controls was conducted, after deleting imperfect questionnaires. There were 130 premature infants out of 5400 live births. Preterm labor risk was 5.5-fold higher among women with two or more pregnancies compared to the number of pregnancies fewer than two. A woman with low general health was more likely to experience preterm labor than a woman with a normal general health. Labor before term rates were 2.3 times higher among diabetics, thyroid dysfunction patients, and cardiac disease patients (P <0.01). In regards to the above and maternal and infant health's important role in supporting community health, a conclusion has been reached. Healthcare systems must improve health education regarding pregnancy numbers, diseases such as Identifying pregnant women who have mental health problems or inadequate support, and managing diabetes, cardiovascular disease (hypertension, eclampsia), and other conditions.
