title: [Threatened preterm delivery managed in a university medical center devoted to high risk pregnancies: assessment of daily practice in relation to international guidelines].
abstract: Premature birth poses a real problem of public health. As the principal cause of foetal ill-health and perinatal mortality, it generates high healthcare costs. By seeking to prevent early labour and to deal with its causes, a good obstetrical practice can reduce its negative impact, both medical and financial, on society. This article describes the results of a study of threatened preterm delivery admissions at the Citadelle hospital in Liege during the year 2012. The findings are compared to international guidelines with a view to identify aspects that could be improved.
