Abstract		Goals. Very preterm and extremely preterm deliveries are multifactorial diseases with a low incidence but much influence on perinatal morbidity and mortality. Introduction. The incidence of preterm delivery is not decreasing in spite of much research done. Different studies with sometimes conflicting results about treating infections in pregnancy and performing cerclage and using other modes to prevent very preterm delivery are reported. Research in Slovenia. In Slovenia the prediction model for preterm delivery was elaborated from data of almost 150000 pregnant women. Risk factors, found significant in the model, are mainly those, which can not be diminished or eliminated like diabetes, conisation, previous preterm delivery. The idea of the study, which is now taking place, is that additional risk factors should be sought for, treated and evaluated regarding their influence on the prolongation of pregnancy and outcome for the child. Some risk factors can be taken care of before pregnancy and some in pregnancy. Conclusions. Very preterm and extremely preterm deliveries are not common, but nevertheless, because of the consequences, deserve to be studied. As difficult as it may seem it is worth while trying to diminish the influence of different risk factors in order to prolong pregnancy and improve survival and quality of survival of the newborn.
