المستخلص: Preterm birth (PTB) is a major clinical problem associated with prenatal mortality and morbidity. The aim of the present study is to identify risk factors associated with PTB in EL-Zawia city, Libya. A case-control study was conducted in Zawia teaching hospital, from January, 2010 to June, 2010 with total of 75 cases of PTB and 75 controls of full-term births were screened and enrolled in the study. Multiple logistic regression model relate to preterm birth with factors can be predicted by maternal age, multiple gestation, previous preterm birth, hypertension, and urinary tract infection. In this study, it was found that preterm birth is more likely to occur with increasing maternal age >=35 years than other groups (OR= 6.3 CI 95% 1.5-26.6, P= 0.011). In this model, logistic regression was showing increasing risk of preterm with multiple pregnancy (OR= 8.5 CI 95% 2.03-35.24, P= 0.003). Previous preterm was represented an important predictor with developing preterm birth (OR=1.13 CI 95% 1.06-1.20, P <0.0001). Moreover, hypertension was also found predictor for preterm birth (OR= 1.09 CI 95% 1.01-1.17, P=0.017).Finally it almost same with urinary tract infection. It is concluded that the main determinants of PTB in Libya were urinary tract infections, hypertension, in addition to poor obstetric history.
