Cox Proportional Hazard Regression Analysis of Spontaneous Preterm Birth Prior to 37 Weeks
| Parameter | Adjusted Hazard Ratio | 95% Confidence Interval | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Progesterone Treatment (yes) | 0.501 | 0.283–0.729 | 0.001 |
| Cervical Length (mm) | 0.552 | 0.332–0.924 | 0.023 |
| Prior Preterm Births (yes) | 1.782 | 1.155–2.786 | 0.011 |
| Gestational Age at Diagnosis (week) | 0.989 | 0.973–0.994 | 0.024 |
| Maternal Age (year) | 1.051 | 1.012–1.086 | 0.008 |
The unadjusted hazard ratio for spontaneous preterm birth prior to 37 weeks after progesterone treatment was 0.52; CI 95% 0.32–0.84; p=0.008. B=0.650, SE(β)=0.244, Wald=7.099. In this model, adjustments were performed for maternal age, history of preterm births, cervical length, and gestational age at diagnosis.
