Brief Summary:
This is a study for pregnant women who have been diagnosed with Threatened Preterm Labor. The principal aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Nifedipine treatment versus Atosiban treatment over these patients' newborn babies.
Detailed Description:
Preterm labor is defined as the presence of uterine contractions of sufficient frequency and intensity to effect progressive effacement and dilation of the cervix prior to term gestation (between 20 and 37 weeks).
It is a major health problem of increased incidence, affecting approximately between 7-10% of pregnant women in developed countries with a high socioeconomic costs and high rates of fetal mortality, although perinatal progress.
This study may allow to establish the existence of differences in perinatal outcomes and to define the first choice drug for tocolysis.
