Preterm birth rates in Avon County, England, and urban Ukraine.

OBJECTIVE: We compared rates of total and spontaneous preterm birth in Avon County, England and urban Ukraine to explore whether adverse conditions in the former eastern bloc influenced the preterm rate. STUDY DESIGN: Women who had last menstrual period (LMP) in a specified time window were recruited from geographically defined areas. Data were gathered between 1992 and 1995, using maternal questionnaires and medical record abstraction, with comparable methods in both sites insofar as possible. There were 13731 births in Avon and 3087 in Ukraine. Rates of total and spontaneous preterm births were compared, taking account of maternal characteristics and other relevant variables. RESULTS: The total preterm birth rates were similar (5.9%, Ukraine; 5.5%, Avon) but the spontaneous preterm rate was about 60% higher in Ukraine (5.0% versus 3.1%). Maternal characteristics and measurement differences did not explain the discrepancy. CONCLUSION: The difference in the spontaneous preterm rates may reflect differences in obstetrical management resulting from shortages of medical supplies and equipment in Ukraine.
