Impact of the recent randomized trials on the use of progesterone to prevent preterm birth: A 2005 follow-up survey

Article Abstract:

A follow-up survey in 2005 determines whether attitudes regarding the use of progesterone to prevent preterm birth have changed since a previous survey conducted in 2003. Although the use of progesterone to prevent preterm birth (PTB) is seen to have significantly increased since 2003, a substantial number of nonusers are identified, having higher levels of concerns compared to nonusers in the 2003 survey, their main concern being the need for more data on the procedure.
