Implications for practice.

This table presents a list of questions derived from our findings and may help programme managers, policymakers, researchers, and other key stakeholders to identify and address factors that may affect implementation and scale-up of ACS, tocolytics, magnesium sulphate for fetal neuroprotection, and antibiotics for PPROM. Assessing the extent to which the barriers and facilitators identified in our review are potential implementation challenges in different settings is a useful starting point for formative research to scale up these preterm birth management interventions.
