NIH Progesterone Study

A National Institutes of Health study recently found that the hormone progesterone reduced the rate of preterm birth before week 33 of pregnancy by 45 percent among one category of at-risk women.

The results were recently published online in “Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.” Perinatal Center of Iowa–PCI was the only study location in Iowa.
