Abstract
Preterm birth remains a leading cause of perinatal mortality, with rates in the United States rising significantly over the latter half of the twentieth century despite decades of awareness. NaProTechnology's integrated prevention approach, developed at the Pope Paul VI Institute, addresses this problem through systematic risk stratification, hormonal support, infection surveillance, and cervical monitoring across the full course of pregnancy.
