Transvaginal cervical length measurement for prediction of preterm birth in women with threatened preterm labor: a meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVES To integrate data on the performance of cervical length measurement for the prediction of preterm birth in symptomatic women. METHODS MEDLINE, SCOPUS and manual searches for studies with transvaginal ultrasound measurement of the cervical length in symptomatic women were carried out. Random effects models were used for data integration, and pooled test estimates of sensitivity, spe...
متن کاملSOGC Clinical Practice Guideline. Ultrasonographic cervical length assessment in predicting preterm birth in singleton pregnancies.
OBJECTIVES To review (1) the use of ultrasonographic-derived cervical length measurement in predicting preterm birth and (2) interventions associated with a short cervical length. OUTCOMES Reduction in rates of prematurity and/or better identification of those at risk, as well as possible prevention of unnecessary interventions. EVIDENCE Published literature was retrieved through searches o...
متن کاملCervical leukocytes and spontaneous preterm birth.
The objective was to characterise cervical leukocyte populations and inflammatory mediators associated with term and recurrent spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) in pregnant women with a history of SPTB. A prospective observational study was undertaken on 120 women with a history of SPTB. A cytobrush was used to sample cells from the cervix at 12-25 weeks' gestation. Cells were enumerated and cha...
متن کاملCervical pessary use and preterm birth.
Preterm birth remains a considerable public health concern and priority. Little headway has been made in the prevention of preterm birth despite considerable research in this area. New ideas and treatments are desperately needed. The pessary has emerged as a possible treatment for the prevention of preterm birth in both singleton and twin gestations. It appears to be low cost with minimal side ...
متن کاملCervical length for predicting preterm birth and a comparison of ultrasonic measurement techniques
Introduction: Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality not attributable to congenital anomalies or aneuploidy. It has been shown that a shortened cervix is a powerful indicator of preterm births in women with singleton and twin gestations - the shorter the cervical length, the higher the risk of spontaneous preterm birth. Ultrasound measurements of the cervix are a...
