Preterm birth is one of the most important global issues. Mortality and morbidity among children under 5 years, including neonates, is affected by preterm birth. A good maternal care, health workers, and health facilities play an important role in the outcome of pregnancy, including preterm birth. An early screening test for pregnancy is crucial to find any abnormality thus preterm birth can be predicted and the following treatment may be applied without delay. One of potential biomarker for the screening test is alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) that can be found in maternal serum. Web-based literature search was carried out using several keywords. This literature review aims to collect data and articles to conclude the correlation of the potential biomarkers in diagnostic of preterm birth.
