Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: mothers who were preterm apart from or independently of being small for gestational age are at a significantly higher risk of later pregnancy complications.

Reviewers' commentary: a history of prematurity and low birth weight, both or one of them, should be considered risk factors in pregnant women as they raise significantly gestational complications.
