## In plain language

A guideline from the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence on preterm labour and birth. The US National Library of Medicine's Bookshelf lists two records for it, dated November 2015 and 10 June 2022. This atlas has not read the guideline: NICE content is cite-only here and nice.org.uk was not fetched, so no recommendation is recorded. See https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng25.

## Technical summary
