The concentration index for preterm delivery was 0.087 (95% confidence interval 0.036\u20130.134), indicating that preterm deliveries were concentrated among patients with higher socioeconomic status. Higher socioeconomic status (94%), younger maternal age (29%), younger paternal age (21%), and being a homemaker (17%) had the highest positive contributions to the measured inequalities in preterm deliveries; vaginal delivery (\u201358%) had the highest negative contribution.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Preterm deliveries were distributed unequally among the study patients in\u00a0Iran, and were concentrated among patients of higher socioeconomic status.
