title: [FREQUENCY AND MEDICAL SOCIAL ASPECTS PREMATURE BIRTH].
abstract: Premature birth (PB) remains an unresolved problem, despite progress in prenatal medicine and the introduction of new methods and techniques of prolonged respiratory resuscitation in recent decades. Premature birth is the cause of 70% of neonatal mortality and 50% of long-term neurological complications in newborns, many of whom debilitating. Notwithstanding the significant progress prenatal care in the last twenty years in developed countries is a trend towards a gradual and continuous increase in premature births. PB is not only medical but also social problem. Despite the efforts of the scientific and practical obstetrics and modern tocolytic therapy, the rate of premature births in the last decade reduced. The causes of preterm birth are multifactorial and vary depending on gestational age, genetic factors and environmental factors. The long-term consequences of premature birth bear behind not only economic but also social problems. In many developing countries, premature birth is a major cause of disability. Clinical studies in recent years have been aimed at creating a comprehensive therapeutic algorithm behavior in premature births in order to reduce their frequency, especially for those born weighing less than 1000g.
