Maternal multimorbidity and chronic conditions as predictors of preterm birth: A matched case–control study in Cyprus
Maternal multimorbidity and several chronic conditions are significant and independent predictors of PTB. These findings underscore the importance of comprehensive antenatal screening and integrated care for women with multiple health conditions. Tailored risk assessment strategies may help reduce the burden of PTB, particularly in populations with rising rates of chronic disease.
