  3. Progesteron in preterm labour • ACOG, suggests progesteron for the prevention of preterm labour. • Its mechanism is not well known • What are the indications for progesteron ? • What must be the type of progesteron and, route of usage and dosage ?

  4. Progesteron, blocks the Prostaglandin F2αand α-adrenergic receptors which is necessary for uterus contractility and leads to uterine relaxation. • Decreases the oxytocin receptors in uterus , • Up regulation of nitric okside and blockage of intracellular gap junctions lead to myometrial relaxation.

  5. Erny et al.had showed the tocolytic effect of oral micronized progesterone in 1985. • 400 mg oral micronized progesteron usage decreasespreterm labour by 88 %. Placebo is found to be effective in 42 %.

  6. Combination of micronized progesteron with, β-adrenergic agonists, leads to decrease of the dosage of β- agonist. • Its tocolytic effect is similar . • Cost and risk decreases. • It may lead to increase in hepatic enzymes.

  7. Natural Progesteron • Natural progesteron begins from,18-25th. weeks,given 90-400 mg/dailyand generallyused vaginally. • Oral micronized progesteron is an alternative. • There is no hepatic first pass effect by vaginal route and biotolerability is better. • Endometrial effect is higher by vaginal route comparing to parenteral usage. There is uterin first-pass effect.

  8. Synthetic Progesteron(17-α-hidroksiprogesteron) • Synthetic progesteron is used by İ.M. Route. • Dosage changes from 25-1000 mg 1-3 times a week. • There is side effects in 50 % of the cases . • In the 4 year follow-up of the babies no long term effects, genital anomaly or sexuality role changes was noticed.

  9. Indications of Progesteron for preterm labour • History of preterm labour • Short cervix • Multipl pregnancy • Threatened preterm labour

  10. History of preterm birth • PTL decreases 30-50%in patients with a history of previous PTB. • There is a decrease in newborns < 2500 gr 3-40 %. • Mean birth weight was 475 grs more in progesterone group.

  18. Multipl Pregnancy • In unselected twin pregnancies usage of İ.M. 17P does not influence deliveries<35 weeks. • 200 mg vaginal progesteron does not effect multipl pregnancies with shortened cervix.

  21. Arrested Preterm Labour • Vaginal progesteron with a dosage of 400 mg/day was given to 70 patients with arrested (threatened) labour. • Birth was prolonged for 12 days. • Low birth weightRR 0.52, • RDS risk 0.30. • NICU admission decreases from 39 % to’ 24%. • Neonatal sepsis decreases from 18%to 5 %.

  22. Combined results without risk factors • Preterm labours are prevented and low birth weight decreases by 40-50%. • IVH decreases75%and NEC decreases. • Progesteron dosage was not found to be significant .
