SOGC 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 کاملUltrasound assessment of cervical length in threatened preterm labor.
OBJECTIVE More than 70% of women presenting with threatened preterm labor do not progress to active labor and delivery. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that in women with threatened preterm labor, sonographic measurement of cervical length helps distinguish between true and false labor. METHODS We examined 216 women with singleton pregnancies presenting with regular an...
متن کاملUltrasound Measurement of Cervical Length as Predictor of Threatened Preterm Birth: a Predictive Model
INTRODUCTION The incidence of preterm delivery has been increasing even in developed countries and remains a serious problem for fetuses and neonates. Although many predictors for preterm delivery have been proposed, complete prediction and prevention have not yet been established. AIMS To examine the potential association between sonographic measurement of cervical length and threatened pret...
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...
متن کاملCervical length by ultrasound as a predictor of preterm labour
Background: Objective of current study was to evaluate cervical length by transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasonography at 14-24 weeks of gestation in asymptomatic women for predicting women at risk of preterm delivery and to find out the one method which is more accurate of the two. Methods: Fifty one women were enrolled in this prospective study. Women with cervical incompetence, multiple g...
