Sažetak
Preterm birth is a major public health issue and one of the most important clinical problems. Although standard global indicators for monitoring and reporting of the data exist, at the moment they are inadequate for international comparisons. This mini-review gives an overview of the current knowledge and controversies regarding the definition, epidemiology and causes of preterm birth, based on the most recent findings of observational and experimental studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
