First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether recording the electrical activity of the uterus (electrohysterogram) can help predict preterm birth in women hospitalized for threatened premature delivery. Researchers monitored 100 pregnant women between 26 and 35 weeks of pregnancy. The goal was to see if this technique could identify those at highest risk, allowing for earlier and better care.
