Evaluation of a two-tier preterm birth prevention service in a tertiary hospital in the United Kingdom: a retrospective cohort study
Women with moderate risk factors for preterm birth seen in the Cervical Screening Clinic had low rates of intervention and good perinatal outcomes. Most women with major risk factors were appropriately referred and managed by the Preterm Birth Clinic. This two-tier preterm birth prevention service therefore appears safe and effective.
