The U.S. preterm birth rate dropped for the fifth consecutive year in 2011 to 11.7 percent, the lowest in a decade, giving thousands more babies a healthy start in life and saving billions in health and social costs.

Howse. “Our national progress in reducing premature births over the past five years shows that when infant health becomes a priority, babies benefit.
