Having chlamydia, gonorrhea or syphilis has been associated with a higher risk of giving birth too early, according to a new study published in the journal JAMA Network Open.
Having chlamydia, gonorrhea or syphilis -- sometimes called "silent" infections due to a dearth of apparent symptoms in the early stages -- has been associated with a higher risk of giving birth too early, according to a study published Monday in the journal JAMA Network Open.
Preterm birth -- when a baby is born before 37 weeks' gestation -- is the leading cause of newborn complications and death worldwide, affecting 10% of live-born deliveries in the United States, the study authors wrote. Also, the number of preterm births slightly rose from 2016 to 2019, so more work to identify risk factors has been needed.
