Single versus combination tocolytic regimen in the prevention of preterm births in women: a prospective cohort study.

Objective: Our objective is to compare the efficacy of combination regimen (salbutamol and nifedipine) against single regimen (nifedipine alone) in preventing preterm births among women with preterm labor.

Results: A total of 76 women with gestational age (GA) ranging from 24+0 to 35+6 weeks, who sought treatment for preterm labor with or without cervical dilatation, were recruited for the prospective cohort study. Of these, 38 (50%) had single tocolytic regimen and 38 (50%) had combination tocolytic regimen.
