The primary binary outcome of PTB (i.e., livebirth before 37 completed weeks\u2019 gestation) was regressed on self-reported symptoms of anxiety (Pregnancy-Related Anxiety (PRA) Scale and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y-1), depression (Edinburgh Perinatal Depression Scale (EPDS)), and covariates such as chronic stress (Perceived Stress Scale) assessed with standardized question and scales with established language equivalency (Sindhi and Urdu).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec003\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>All 1603 births occurred between 24 and 43 completed weeks\u2019 gestation. PRA was a stronger predictor of PTB than other types of antenatal psychosocial distress conditions. Chronic stress had no effect on the strength of association between PRA and PTB and a slight but non-significant effect on depression. A planned pregnancy significantly lowered risk of PTB among women who experienced PRA. Aggregate antenatal psychosocial distress did not improve model prediction over PRA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec004\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Like studies in high-income countries, PRA became a strong predictor of PTB when considering interactive effects of whether the current pregnancy was planned. Women\u2019s resilience and abilities to make sexual and reproductive health decisions are important to integrate in future research. Findings should be generalized with caution as socio-cultural context is a likely effect modifier. We did not consider protective\/strength-oriented factors, such as resilience among women.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0282582","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,30]],"date-time":"2023-03-30T17:51:55Z","timestamp":1680198715000},"page":"e0282582","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Individual and collective contribution of antenatal psychosocial distress conditions and preterm birth in Pakistani women"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Sharifa","family":"Lalani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0323-8009","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Shahirose Sadrudin","family":"Premji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kiran","family":"Shaikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salima","family":"Sulaiman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilona S.","family":"Yim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3734-5072","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ntonghanwah","family":"Forcheh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neelofur","family":"Babar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sidrah","family":"Nausheen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7468-915X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nicole","family":"Letourneau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"the Maternal-infant Global Health Team (MiGHT) Collaborators in Research","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0282582.ref001","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2018","journal-title":"Preterm Birth"},{"key":"pone.0282582.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1002\/ijgo.13195","article-title":"Global burden of preterm birth.","volume":"150","author":"SR Walani","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int J Gynecol Obstet"},{"key":"pone.0282582.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e37","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(18)30451-0","article-title":"Global, regional, and national estimates of levels of preterm birth in 2014: a systematic review and modelling analysis","volume":"7","author":"S Chawanpaiboon","year":"2019","journal-title":"Lancet Glob Health"},{"key":"pone.0282582.ref004","first-page":"229","article-title":"2017.
