Term and preterm parturition have a common pathway that includes irregular uterine contractions, cervical effacement and dilatation, along with decidual activation and rupturing of the chorioamniotic membrane. This pathway is observed in the physiologic labor at term as well as in the pathological processes leading to premature delivery. Indeed, the clinical presentation of preterm parturition involves all components of this common pathway: 1. Preterm contractions in women with spontaneous preterm labor with intact membranes; 2.cervical effacement and dilatation in women with cervical insufficiency; and/or 3.decidual activation and rupture of membranes in those with preterm PROM.
