Preterm labour (PTL) is a critical obstetric condition that occurs in 5-10% of pregnancies and is a leading factor in prematurity, which significantly contributes to neonatal morbidity and mortality. The document outlines the definitions, classifications, and implications of early and late PTL, emphasizing the serious risks associated with preterm births, particularly those occurring before 34 weeks of gestation. It also discusses the physiological changes that lead to the initiation of labour and the associated risks for very preterm infants.
