ACOG Clinical Alert: (Oct 25, 2019) Progesterone for PTB Reduction

On October 25, 2019, the American Journal of Perinatology published the results of the PROLONG Trial. This study demonstrated no statistical difference in the co-primary outcome of preterm birth less than 35 0/7 weeks of gestation (P = 0.72) and neonatal composite index (P = 0.73) with 17-OHP use. Similarly, the rate of preterm birth less than 37 weeks and less than 32 weeks were not different. On October 25, 2019, the ACOG released a practice advisory about this. Let’s summarize this now.
