  2. Evidence for vaginal micronized progesterone Strategy in the prevention Identification of risk factors • Previous history of preterm birth • Twin pregnancy • Short cervix at mid-gestation scan Asymptomatic Preterm labour False labour True labour VS Symptomatic • Assess the cervical length by TVS • Fetal fibronectin

Luteectomy No Ab D&C (n=10) Abortion D&C 7 pregnant women <7 wks Tubal ligation + luteectomy+ progesterone No miscarrige Miscarrage (n = 8) (n = 33) Progesterone and pregnancy maintenance - 57 pregnant desired tubal ligation (GA – 64/7 to 86/7 wks) 35 Tubal ligation 25 Progesterone level (ng/ml) <7 wks – tubal ligation (control) No Ab D&C (n=6) <7 wks – tubal ligation + luteectomy 20 >8 wks – tubal ligation + luteectomy 15 10 5 Csapo, A et al.

  5. Recent scientific evidence RCT: vaginal prophylatic P4 vs placebo in high risk group Single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial Enrolled 142 asymptomatic singleton pregnant womenathigh risk for preterm delivery due to one of the following risk factors: • At least 1 previous spontaneous preterm birth <37 wks • Incompetent cervix • Uterine malformation Vaginal progesterone (100mg) daily at night Gestational age at intake: 25 weeks (24-26 wks).

  10. Evidence: twin pregnancy Effect of progesterone gel for the prevention of preterm birth in twin pregnancy (N=500) • Randomized either to daily vaginal progesterone gel 90 mg (n=250) or to placebo gel (n=250) for 10 weeks. • GA at intake: 24 wks. • Primary outcome: delivery or IUD before 34 wks. • Analysis was by intention to treat. • Additionally, a meta-analysis of published and unpublished data in twin pregnancy was performed to establish the efficacy of P4 in prevention of early PTB or IUD. Norman et al. The Lancet. 2009; 373: 2034-40.

  11. New evidence: twin pregnancy Meta-analysis of the effect of progesterone in the prevention of preterm delivery <34 wks (N=1,173) Meta-analysis confirmed: progesterone does not prevent early preterm birth in women with twin pregnancy (pooled OR 1.16, 95% CI 0.89-1.51). • Square shows the OR for each study and the horizontal line depicts the 95% CIs. • Vertical line, at the odds ratio of unity, corresponds to the line of no effect • Open diamond indicates the final odds ratio with 95% CI overall

  12. Symptomatic patients Role of progesterone during and/or after acute trocolysis Preterm labour False labour True labour VS • Assess the cervical length by TVS • Fetal fibronectin

  13. Study Rationale Tocolytics and progesterone P4 enhances the effect of ritodrine in isolated pregnant human myometrium Cumulative effect of natural progesterone Association progesterone and ritodrine • Natural progesterone reduces the myometrialoxytocin-induced contraction • Overnight incubation with progesterone significantly inhibited contractility • Natural progesterone enhances the relaxant action of ritodrine Chanrachakul et al.Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2005; 192, 350-9

  15. Evidence for micronized progesterone “ Although it is not yet time to treat all women at risk for preterm birth with supplemental progesterone, it is not too soon to hope that these early reports will be followed by larger series showing not only a decline in preterm birth but a reduction in perinatal morbidity and mortality as well ” Jay Iams, Associate Editor of AJOG 2003 Feb 188(2):303

  18. Making progress: evidence for micronized progesterone IPD-M: vaginal progesterone in women with an asymptomatic US short cervix in the midtrimester decreases preterm delivery (N=775) and this reduction has been translated in improvement of neonatal morbidity and mortality

  19. ACOG THE AMERICAN CONGRESS OF OBSTETRICIANS AND GYNECOLOGISTS ACOG recommendations, 2008 • Progesterone for the prevention of recurrent preterm birth should be offered to women with a singleton pregnancy and a prior spontaneous PTB due to spontaneous preterm labor or premature rupture of membranes. • Current evidence does not support the routine use of progesterone in women with multiple gestations. • Progesterone for asymptomatic women with an incidentally identified very short cervical length (less than 15 mm) may be considered; however, routine cervical length screening is not recommended. • The ACOG Committee on Obstetric Practice and the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine believe that further studies are needed to determine if there are other indications for progesterone therapy for the prevention of PTD ACOG Committee on Obstetric Practice. Obstet Gynecol. 2008;112:963-65.

  20. Guidelines EU, 2011 1 • Women with prior history of PTB, the early prophylaxis with either P4 micronized or 17 OHP-C to prevent recurrence. SMFM, 2012 2 • Women with singleton gestations, no prior PTB, and short CL at 24 weeks, vaginal progesterone is associated with reduction in PTB and perinatal morbidity and mortality, and can be offered in these cases. SOGC, 2008 3 • Women with previous history of PTL and/or short cervix (<15mm at 22-26 wks) could be used as indications for progesterone. 1.
