Abstract
Preterm delivery is one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality. It can be medically induced for maternal or fetal pathology. Thus, we conducted a study during 2018 on all medically induced births between 28 and 36 weeks of amenorrhea (WA). Induced preterm birth constituted 31.67% of preterm deliveries. The mean gestational age was 33.7 weeks (31 weeks - 36 weeks). The main indications were dominated by severe preeclampsia and eclampsia (41.15%) and premature rupture of membranes (19.60%). Lung maturation was achieved in 23.5% of cases. Cesarean was the main mode of delivery (76.47%). The Apgar score was over 7 in the fifth minute 84.31% of the time. The average birth weight was 2008gr (1200gr - 2400gr). Early neonatal mortality was 11.76%.
