[Guideline for imminent preterm birth: insufficient adherence and implementation].
The guideline for referral to perinatology centres in cases of imminent preterm birth at 24-26 weeks gestation, is poorly adhered to by Dutch gynaecologists. Unfortunately, the guideline can be interpreted in various ways and the reasons for non-adherence remain unclear. In addition, no measures were taken to implement the guideline when it was published. This means that the usefulness of the finding that the guideline is poorly adhered to is limited.
