Abstract

The object was to examine the effects of smoking on spontaneous and induced very and moderately preterm birth (< or = 32 and 33-36 completed weeks' gestation, respectively). Live singleton births in Sweden, 1991-1993 (n = 311,977), were examined. Risk of preterm birth consistently increased with amount smoked. Smoking was most heavily associated with increased risks of very preterm birth and spontaneous preterm birth. The highest impact of smoking was seen on risk of spontaneous very preterm birth among women who smoked at least 10 cigarettes/d (odds ratio 1.7). The smoking-related risks of preterm birth remained essentially unchanged after excluding pregnancies with smoking-associated pregnancy complications. There is a dose-related impact of smoking on risk of preterm birth. The fact that the smoking-related risk of spontaneous preterm birth is more pronounced than that of induced preterm birth suggests that smoking is associated with spontaneous preterm labor.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 January 2010.
All research outputs
#5,559,757
of 25,837,817 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology
#4,540
of 13,406 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#4,957
of 32,447 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology
#6
of 52 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,837,817 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,406 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 32,447 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 52 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
