    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-10-02) Pumajulca Ayravilca, Maria Eucaria; Barbaggelata Huaraca, Adriana Josefina
    The intergenic period is the time interval between the completion of one pregnancy and the conception of the next. When this period is short, maternal and perinatal morbidity increases. Objectives: To explore existing evidence in the scientific literature regarding the relationship between a short intergenic period and preterm birth. Methodology: A bibliographic search was conducted for scientific articles, developing a search protocol in seven databases: MedLine, Dialnet, Tesis en Red, Scielo, PubMed, Prospero, and the virtual library linked to the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener. Results: Based on 22 studies, all of them aimed to relate the short intergenic period with preterm birth. The relationship between the two variables shows a higher risk of preterm birth and other complications associated with a short intergenic period. However, there is some controversy regarding the prevalence of one pregnancy complication over another. Conclusion: There is evidence in the scientific literature regarding the relationship between a short intergenic period and preterm birth.
