Summary
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing weekly intramuscular injection of 17 alpha
hydroxylprogesterone caproate with daily vaginal progesterone in women with singleton
pregnancies and history of prior spontaneous preterm birth in terms of maternal, fetal and
neonatal outcomes.
Our aim is to assess the effects on maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes of antenatal
progesterone administered intramuscularly versus vaginally in women with singleton pregnancy
and a history of prior preterm birth.
