Abstract
• Preterm labor is defined as spontaneous onset of labor occurring before completed 37 weeks of gestation. It varies between 5-15% of the number of live birth and increase much more in developing countries.
• The aim of this work is to assess the efficacy of cyclo-oxygenos-2 inhibitors (celecoxib) in arresting preterm labor and to evaluate its value in prolongation of gestation compared to ritodrine.
• In this work we have conduct an observational study comparing oral Anticox-2 to oral ritodrine 30 pregnant women diagnosed as preterm labor with gestational age ranged between 24-34 weeks we randomly classified into two groups.
• First group: consists of 15 pregnant women with preterm labor pain in which oral celecoxib was given after hydration.
• Second group: consists of 15 pregnant women in which oral ritadrine was given after hydration.
• The result was analyzed and end results were:
1- There were no significant difference in the demographic data in the two groups before the use of any treatment.
2- No significant difference between the two groups as regard the successful response to initial therapy.
3- Ritodrine group shows more days of prolongation then celecoxib, but with no statistical differences.
