UNASSIGNED: to study the risk factors associated with @entity3152 in two busy obstetrics centers in Ouagadougou. this prospective case-control study included 115 @entity1 with preterm deliveries and 230 control @entity1 , or two controls per case, recruited from January through June 2011. The study took place in the maternity and neonatology departments of the University Hospital Center Yalgado-Ou  draogo (UHC-YO) and the Saint-Camille medical center, in the same city. Stillbirths were excluded from the study. Case @entity1 were born at gestational ages ranging from 28 to 37 weeks. during the study period, the @entity3152 rate was 6.1%. Multivariate analysis with logistic regression enabled us to identify the factors associated with @entity3152 . These factors were: advanced maternal age (>30 years) (OR  =  0.4 [0.2-0.8]), history of intentional abortions (OR  =  3.3 [1.43-7.6], high stress (OR  =  4.03 [2.14-3.39]), too few prenatal care visits (OR  =  4.92 [3.03-8]), fever during pregnancy (OR  =  1.59 [1.01-2.5]), @entity4942 (OR  =  3.72 [1.11-4.34]), @entity293 (OR  =  2.55 [1.55-4.19]), and threatened @entity3152 (OR  =  3.3 [1.43-7.6]). @entity3152 is very frequent at both these Ouagadougou health care facilities. Many factors are associated with @entity600 , including social and demographic as well as clinical characteristics. The effort to reduce the rate of @entity600 , which are associated with neonatal morbidity, must be strengthened by refocusing on prenatal consultations.
