However, in some cases, such deliveries also occur with no apparent medical indication. The increasing numbers of iatrogenic preterm deliveries worldwide have led researchers to identify modifiable causes that allow the formulation of preventive strategies that could impact the overall preterm birth rate. The present document contains the FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) Working Group for Preterm Birth recommendations, aiming to reduce the rates of iatrogenic preterm birth based on four of the most common clinical scenarios and issues related to iatrogenic preterm delivery. The working group supports efforts to identify the contribution of iatrogenic preterm delivery to the overall preterm birth rate and encourages health authorities to establish preventive measures accordingly. We encourage care providers to maintain single embryo transfer policies to prevent multiple pregnancies as a substantial contributor of iatrogenic preterm birth. The working group also recommends that efforts to reduce unnecessary cesarean sections must be warranted, and mechanisms to ensure the appropriate time of delivery and strengthening of education and communication processes must be pursued.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ijgo.13857","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]],"date-time":"2021-09-14T13:25:16Z","timestamp":1631625916000},"page":"8-12","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["FIGO good practice recommendations on modifiable causes of iatrogenic preterm birth"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"155","author":[{"given":"Catalina M.","family":"Valencia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Universidad CES Medell\u00edn Colombia"},{"name":"Fundared\u2010Materna Bogot\u00e1 Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ben W.","family":"Mol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Monash University Clayton Australia"},{"name":"Aberdeen Centre for Women's Health Research Institute of Applied Health Sciences School of Medicine Aberdeen UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Jacobsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Institute of Clinical Science Sahlgrenska Academy University of Gothenburg Gothenburg Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Sahlgrenska University Hospital Gothenburg Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Genetics and Bioinformatics Domain of Health Data and Digitalization Institute of Public Health Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"the FIGO Working Group for Preterm Birth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","first-page":"17","volume-title":"Born too soon: the global action report on preterm birth","author":"March of Dimes, PMNCH, Save the Children, WHO","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(08)60074-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3016.2006.00711.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2393-14-56"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1447-0756.2010.01483.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","article-title":"IVF\/ICSI treatment and the risk of iatrogenic preterm birth in singleton pregnancies: systematic review and meta\u2010analysis of cohort studies","volume":"1","author":"Cavoretto PI","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2019.305287"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0148244"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2019.305352"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1704559"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","unstructured":"Human Multiple Births Database.
