“…However, as expected, we found that maternal smoking and history of PTB were the main risk factors for PTB in cases. This is in accordance with the present literature [3,5,16,17,20,25]. Conversely, bacterial vaginosis and LLETZ conisation were not associated with PTB in our study, although they represent established risk factors for PTB.…”

“…Mothers who smoke around the time of conception, nearly double their risk of smallfor-gestational age (SGA) birth (30). In an American study, the risk of having a low-birth-weight baby under 2,500 grams was 49 per thousand for nonsmokers, 76 per thousand for smokers of less than twenty cigarettes per day and 114 per thousand for smokers of twenty cigarettes or more per day (31). Women older than 30 years who smoke, enter pregnancy underweight and have a previous lowbirthweight delivery are at greatest risk of delivering a SGA baby (30,32).…”
