PREDICTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRETERM LABOR IN THE CONTEXT OF CHANGES IN THE MICROBIOTA BASED ON INSULIN RESISTANCE

Preterm labor is defined as the premature termination of pregnancy in the gestational period from the 22nd to the 37th week of pregnancy. Taking into account the gestational age of the fetus, we divide premature labor into 3 periods: 1) labor processes occurring from the 22nd to the 27th week, 2) from the 28th to the 33rd week, 3) from the 34th to the 37th week Worldwide, approximately 15 million premature births occur each year at less than 37 weeks of gestation. Preterm birth is a major risk factor for neonatal mortality, accounting for 35% of the 3.1 million deaths annually.
