Zambian Preterm Birth Prevention Study
Sponsor: University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Summary
This prospective non-intervention cohort study will enroll women in the first or early second trimester of pregnancy and follow them through delivery (or end of pregnancy) and 1 year postpartum. Infants will also be followed until 1 year postpartum. Detailed medical and obstetrical information will be collected, as well as biological samples, in order to better elucidate the biological mechanisms leading to preterm delivery among Zambian women, in an effort to identify new strategies for prevention.
