Prenatal acute thermophysiological stress and spontaneous preterm birth in Western Australia, 2000–2015: A space-time-stratified case-crossover analysis

Prenatal acute thermophysiological stress and spontaneous preterm birth in Western Australia, 2000–2015: A space-time-stratified case-crossover analysis

Epidemiologic evidence on acute heat and cold stress and preterm birth (PTB) is inconsistent and based on ambient temperature rather than a thermophysiological index. The aim of this study was to use a spatiotemporal thermophysiological index (Universal Thermal Climate Index, UTCI) to investigate pr...
