MIDTRIMESTER SONOGRAPHIC CERVICAL LENGTH MEASUREMENT IN PREDICTION OF PRETERM BIRTH

Background: Spontaneous preterm delivery, main source of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Forecasting high-probability category for premature primarily at 34 weeks, timely management to avert this gestational problem have thus been health-care challenge. Cervical length estimated by TVS foresee delivery in asymptomatic low-probability women. Methods: Prospective observational study conducted on 100 pregnant women who met inclusion exclusion criteria were choosen random. Using ultrasonography, cervical is measured they followed-up after 3-4 weeks till their gestation age mode birth weight baby, NICU admissions noted. Results: In Present study, about 47% had equal or less than 2.5 cm. About 53% more cm 35% the mother delivered Preterm 37 & 65% age. Hence estimation transvaginal sonogram has a genuinely precise sensitivity specificity expectation delivery. Conclusions: remarkable impact mortality morbidity. The use determine potential help forecast probability labor. 18 24 as standard screening strategy practical great legitimacy successful test, should be offered all
