Prediction models for spontaneous preterm birth in asymptomatic low-risk singleton pregnancies: a systematic review
Evidence on prediction models for sPTB in asymptomatic low-risk singleton pregnancies remains limited and heterogeneous. None of the existing models demonstrated sufficient methodological rigor or validation for clinical application. Current evidence is insufficient, and robust multicenter studies with standardized predictors, transparent reporting and proper validation are needed to develop reliable prediction models.
