Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the influence of period and year on the rates of preterm births during the lockdown period (11th March\u2009\u2212\u20095th May 2020) compared with rates before (January 1st 2020\u2009\u2212\u2009March 10th 2020), and after the lockdown (May 6th 2020\u2013June 30th 2020) and to the corresponding periods in 2017to
