“…The strengths of the study are its prospective, cross-sectional nature as well the fact that it examined women at low risk for preterm delivery. Previous studies examined only high-risk groups in the late third trimester, whereas other investigators confined their observations to the gestational frame very close to delivery [9,10,11,12]. In contrast, our findings are applicable to the general low-risk obstetric population.…”

Objective: To examine the value of the cervical length (CL) measurement at 24-30 gestational weeks in the prediction of spontaneous preterm delivery (SPD) between 30 and 34 weeks (SPD₃₄) and between 34 and 37 weeks (SPD₃₇). Methods: We performed a prospective cross-sectional study. CL was measured once by transvaginal ultrasound examination between 24 and 30 weeks. Results: The study sample consisted of 1,180 low-risk singleton pregnancies. 10 women (0.85%) had a SPD₃₄ and 60 (5.08%) had a SPD₃₇. CL was shorter (p < 0.001) in the women who had a SPD₃₄ (median 11 mm) compared to the women who delivered after 34 weeks (median 31 mm). CL was shorter (p < 0.001) in the women who had a SPD₃₇ (median 22 mm) compared to the women who delivered after 37 weeks (median 31 mm). CL predicted SPD₃₄ (OR = 0.837, R² = 0.2768, AUC = 0.9406, p < 0.001) and SPD₃₇ (OR = 0.907, R² = 0.1085, AUC = 0.7584, p < 0.001). The model achieved a sensitivity of 70.0 and 38.3% for 10% false-positive rate for SPD₃₄ and SPD₃₇, respectively. Conclusions: CL after 24 weeks is significantly shorter in women destined to have a SPD. In low-risk singleton pregnancies CL performs very well in predicting SPD₃₄ and adequately in predicting SPD₃₇.

“…The results were noted on a dedicated study form 11 . Clinical data about the pregnancy and delivery were obtained from KIKA-Journalen, a comprehensive information system developed at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Malmö, serving both as a patient recordkeeping system and as a tool for quality control and other statistical purposes.…”

The purpose of this study is to review the literature examining the role of ultrasound in the induction of labor. Databases including Ovid, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and UpToDate were searched and current guidelines from the SOGC, the ACOG, the RCOG, and the RANZCOG were reviewed. Although studies have not demonstrated the superiority of cervical sonography to the Bishop score, the evidence indicates that sonography could be useful in planning induction of labor, significantly reducing the need for cervical ripening agents. A more comprehensive method integrating both sonography and digital exam may be more appropriate.
