Excerpt
Excerpt: More could be gained by investing better methods for monitoring preterm birth. Having monitoring programs following the same protocol in different countries could provide important clues to aspects that are the most important determinants of preterm birth. Given the large variation we expect to see on this condition among populations, much more could be learned from focusing on the big picture rather than looking at the biologic details. The book unfortunately does not go into detail about the conditions for setting up such a monitoring program, which should be implemented in addition to the monitoring of low birth weight.
