Approximately one in seven infants was born preterm in our study area. Family planning method, number of antenatal care visit, mothers' age at marriage and high fever during pregnancy were the most important predictors of PD, these factors could be considered to reduce PD among Bangladeshi mothers. PD risk could be reduced by counselling and encouraging women to take antenatal care facilities from trained health providers.
