Cervical 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...
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 کاملSelective use of sonographic cervical length measurement for predicting imminent preterm delivery in women with preterm labor and intact membranes.
OBJECTIVES To determine, in a population of women with preterm labor and intact membranes, whether ultrasound cervical length measurement performed only in patients selected according to the Bishop score predicts imminent preterm delivery better than does systematic cervical length measurement in the entire population. METHODS The Bishop score and sonographic cervical length were recorded pro...
متن کاملSonographic measurement of cervical length in preterm prelabor amniorrhexis.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether sonographic measurement of cervical length in pregnancies complicated by preterm prelabor amniorrhexis helps distinguish between those women who deliver within 7 days and those who do not. METHODS In 101 women with singleton pregnancies presenting with preterm prelabor amniorrhexis at 24-36 (median, 32) weeks of gestation cervical length was measured by transvag...
متن کاملCervical Sonoelastography and Cervical Length Measurement but not Cervicovaginal Interleukin-6 Are Predictors for Preterm Birth.
Worldwide, preterm birth annually affects more than 15 million infants. Despite increasing knowledge of the risk factors and mechanisms associated with preterm labor, the preterm birth rate has risen in most industrialized countries. The ability to identify women at high risk for spontaneous preterm birth is crucial yet remains difficult. The aim of the present study was to assess the value of ...
