Cervical length in the first trimester depends on maternal characteristics and a history of cervical surgery. The cervix exhibits minimal changes from 11 to 24 weeks for most women, although the shortening is more prominent in women with a history of cervical surgery or preterm delivery. First-trimester cervical length measurement can predict preterm delivery.
Prediction for birthweight deviations is feasible using data available at the routine 11-14 weeks' examination. Delta CRL and delta nuchal translucency were significant independent predictors for both SGA and LGA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
