      abstract = {There is an urgent need to further characterize the  various PTB clinical phenotypes as well as their identified  determinants/risks, labor pathways, and trajectories.  Preterm birth is a significant public health issue, yet our  current lack of understanding regarding PTB risk factors  and/or underlying biologic triggers hinders our ability to  predict and prevent preterm delivery. By further  characterizing PTB clinical phenotypes and trajectories, we  can advance the science toward improved PTB prediction,  prevention, and treatment. This study focused on selected  PTB clinical phenotypes and a subset of emerging  socio-demographic variables, clinical characteristics, and  perinatal interventions. Continued exploration is needed to  gain a more nuanced understanding of known PTB clinical  phenotypes. Without such knowledge, there will be no  upstream progress toward developing preventive  interventions targeted to high-risk pregnancies or tailored  to the individual PTB clinical phenotype.},
