Intergenerational risk of preterm birth in First Nations Australians: a population-based cohort study from the Northern Territory, Australia
First Nations women born preterm have an increased risk of early PTB. This association is in part driven by pre-eclampsia and hypertensive renal disease. Routine inquiry of maternal birth status may be a useful tool to identify NT First Nations women who may benefit from preventative measures.
