Rationale and design of SuPPoRT: a multi-centre randomised controlled trial to compare three treatments: cervical cerclage, cervical pessary and vaginal progesterone, for the prevention of preterm birth in women who develop a short cervix
BACKGROUND Clinically, once a woman has been identified as being at risk of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) due to a short cervical length, a decision regarding prophylactic treatment must be made. Three interventions have the potential to improve outcomes: cervical cerclage (stitch), vaginal progesterone and cervical pessary. Each has been shown to have similar benefit in reduction of sPTB, b...
متن کاملTwin Pregnancy Gestational Length Prolongation and Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality Reduction by Cervical Pessary with or Without Vaginal Progesterone
Purpose: The purpose of this mini review is to elucidate if cervical pessary, with or without progesterone is applicable to twin pregnancies. One-quarter of preterm births (PTB) are twin pregnancies. Cervical cerclage, progesterone, and cervical pessary decrease the PTB incidence in singleton pregnancies. Retrospective cohorts suggest that cervical cerclage is not harmful, and is possibly benef...
متن کاملCerclage pessary for preventing preterm birth in women with a singleton pregnancy and a short cervix at 20 to 24 weeks: a randomized controlled trial.
OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of cerclage pessary in the prevention of preterm birth in asymptomatic Chinese women with a short cervix at 20 to 24 weeks. METHODS Low-risk women carrying singleton pregnancies were screened with transvaginal ultrasound, and those with a cervical length <25 mm at 20 to 24 weeks were recruited into a randomized controlled trial, comparing the prophylac...
متن کاملCervical cerclage for prevention of preterm birth: A commentary
Cervical cerclage remains a proven method for the prevention of preterm birth caused by a ‘weak cervix’. However, there is controversy as regards the precise diagnosis and definition of ‘cervical incompetence’, the actual surgical technique, choice of suture material and number of sutures and ties to be made during the procedure. There is now emerging evidence that other alternatives to cervica...
متن کاملAdjunctive Therapies to Cerclage for the Prevention of Preterm Birth: A Systematic Review
The aim of this paper is to provide a thorough summary of published studies that have assessed the efficacy of adjunctive therapies used in addition to cervical cerclage as a preventive measure for preterm birth. We limited our paper to patients treated with cerclage plus an additional prophylactic therapy compared to a reference group of women with cerclage alone. The specific adjunctive thera...
