Written in association with the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI), and with contributions from a multitude of recognised experts led by FOGSI (2025-2026) president Sunita Tandulwadkar; the Ethical Evidence-based Recommendations (EEBR) series provides clinicians with the latest updates and advances in the field, with each book focusing on a different subspecialty.

Preterm labour happens when regular contractions cause the cervix to open after week 20 and before week 37 of pregnancy. Preterm labour can result in a baby being born before 37 weeks of pregnancy – the earlier the delivery, the greater the health risks for the baby. Many premature babies need special care in a neonatal intensive care unit. They can also have long-term physical and mental health concerns.

This book provides clinicians with a comprehensive guide to the management of preterm labour, integrating the latest evidence with the ethical frameworks necessary for informed decision-making. The text begins with a thorough review of the pathophysiology and risk factors associated with preterm labour. The following chapters examine the various intervention options available for its management.

Other titles in the series include:

  • Antenatal Fetal Surveillance
  • Endometriosis
  • Fibroids
  • Genetics in Obstetrics and Gynaecology
  • Hyperglycemia in Pregnancy
  • Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy
  • Induction of Labour
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
  • Postpartum Haemorrhage
