Abstract
A prospective analysis of the value of a system for scoring the risk of preterm delivery (RPD) were performed. The RPD system predicts that approximately 10% of patients will have preterm labor and delivery. Although 1/3 of these patients deliver before term, they account for approximately 2/3 of all preterm births. Discrimination of the RPD system is better for multigravid patients than for primigravid patients, and rescoring at 26-28 wk gestation improves prediction accuracy.
