Overview
Causes
- Infection:So far, only intra-amniotic infection has been shown to cause preterm delivery. The other factors are being associated based on reports by clinical, epidemiologic, placental pathologic, or experimental studies.Intra-amniotic infections can be subclinical. One in four preterm infants are born due to this cause.[1]
- The most frequent route is the ascending pathway, but hematogenous dissemination can occur.
- Microorganisms are recognized by pattern recognition receptors, such as toll-like receptors (TLRs)
- TLRs stimulate the production of chemokines (IL-8, C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2), etc.), cytokines (IL-1b, TNF-a, etc), prostaglandins and proteases which activate the quiescent myometrium and stimulates parturition.[1]
- In 30% of cases of intra-amniotic infection, bacteria can be found in the fetal circulation which causes fetal systemic inflammatory response. These fetuses are at risk for long-term complications, such as cerebral palsy and chronic lung disease, which emphasizes that these complications may not only occur due to immaturity but also inflammatory response.[1]
- Uterine ovedistension
- Decidual senescence
- Vascular disorders
- Stress
- Cervical disease
- Decline in progesterone action
- Breakdown in maternal-fetal tolerance.
