Overview

Retrospective study finds cervical length after cerclage predicts risk of preterm birth in singleton pregnancies, indicating clinical importance.

Key Points

  • Evaluate the association between cervical length measurements after cerclage and spontaneous preterm birth.
  • Retrospective analysis of singleton pregnancies with cerclage from 2010-2024.
  • Measured cervical length using transvaginal ultrasound at various intervals post-cerclage.
  • Analyzed data for both prophylactic and emergency cerclage cases.
  • Shorter cervical length at 23-24 + 6 weeks (aOR 4.13, 95% CI 1.23–13.89, p = 0.021) predicts PTB < 37 weeks.
  • Cervical length at 25-26 + 6 weeks predicts PTB < 32 weeks (aOR 4.76, 95% CI 1.20–19.60, p = 0.027).
  • In the emergency group, shorter cervical lengths at 23-24 and 25-26 weeks correlate with delivery before 32 weeks.
