“Does the use of gestation-specific centiles for cervical length change the management of pregnancies at risk of recurrent spontaneous preterm birth?”

Abstract: Introduction: Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Spontaneous Preterm Birth (sPTB) has many and varied causes but is known to be strongly associated with a short or shortening cervix in the midtrimester of pregnancy. The strongest risk factor for sPTB is a previous sPTB.In women with a history of sPTB, we can offer surveillance and treatments which have been proven to reduce the risk of sPTB, such as cervical cerclage and vaginal progesterone supplementation. Alongside other… Show more

“…1 As a major cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity, it generates ongoing research aimed to reduce its prevalence. [2][3][4] A short cervical length (CL) on ultrasound in mid-pregnancy is a recognised indicator of an increased risk of preterm birth. 5 There is an inverse association between the gestation when a shorter cervix is detected and risk of preterm delivery.…”
