[Preliminary study of the risk factors in premature delivery in the Rivas region (Nicaragua)].
It is always interesting to know what goes on elsewhere and this study from Nicaragua shows how uneasy it is compare regions between one another. A rate of 17% of premature infants appears considerable but when 2 out of 5 premature infants weigh more than 2,500 grams in a country where accuracy of the period records is, at the very least, questionable, the rate is reduced to 10%. Women under 19 years represent 20% of the population and 24% of the delivering women and the rate of premature births is 34%. There also if we only consider women between 20 and 39 years, the rate is markedly lower than the gross rate.
