Objective Determine whether gestational age of 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHPC) initiation is associated with preterm birth (PTB) risk.Study design We performed a retrospective cohort study using MarketScan (R) data. The primary outcome was PTB < 37 weeks. Rates of PTB were compared between medication initiation at 16-21 weeks versus 21-29 weeks. The association between compliance with weekly 17-OHPC injections and preterm birth rate was tested after adjusting for potential confounding variables.Result In all 3374 pregnancies met inclusion criteria. Women with an early 17-OHPC start were less likely to deliver preterm than those with a late start (aRR 0.88; 95%CI 0.79-0.97; p = 0.02). Less compliant patients receiving 85% of recommended doses (aRR 1.5; 95%CI 1.2-1.7; p < 0.01).Conclusion There is an association between both early 17-OHPC initiation and compliance with reduced rates of PTB.
