| Abstract | Background Preterm birth is one of the global most common causes of mortality among infants, especially in developing countries. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the maternal risk factors related to the birth of preterm infants. Methods The present case-control study was conducted on 220 premature infants as the case group and 440 term infants as the control group in the hospitals of Khorram Abad, Iran, in 2023. Two groups were matched in terms of gender and date of birth. Data were gathered by the researcher using a researcher-made questionnaire, interviewing the mothers and physicians, and reviewing mothers’ medical files in maternity and postpartum wards. Data were analyzed using Stata 17 software and descriptive statistics and conditional logistic regression test at the significance level of less than 0.05. Results In multivariable analysis adjusted odds ratio (AOR) was estimated, mother’s employment (AOR: 2.85; 95%CI:1.05–7.77), history of abortion (AOR: 2.04; 95%CI: 1.10–3.78), sexual activity from 32nd to 36.6th week of pregnancy (AOR: 0.33; 95%CI: 0.20–0.54), pre-eclampsia (AOR: 11.09; 95%CI: 4.5-27.39), premature rupture of membrane (AOR: 6.76; 95%CI; 3.7-12.34) and placental abruption (AOR: 16.07; 95%CI: 5.45–47.39) were significantly associated with preterm birth of infants. No significant relation was observed between mother’s age, assisted reproductive treatment, cervical insufficiency, and the number of received prenatal cares at the health centers and the birth of premature infants. Conclusion According to the results of the study, factors such as a mother’s employment, history of abortion, pre-eclampsia, premature rupture of membranes, and placental abruption can affect the birth of premature infants. Therefore, the control of maternal factors influential in the birth of premature infants, as well as care during pregnancy, can reduce the occurrence of premature births, followed by the reduction of healthcare costs and infant mortality and the improvement of the youth level of the population. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
