An important step toward the goal of eradicating spontaneous preterm birth was achieved with the advent of cervical sonography, a tool that advanced our knowledge of the entity of preterm parturition, improved our ability to detect women at risk for early delivery, and allowed us to prevent some of these premature births.

Vaginitis, cervicitis, and cervical length in pregnancy
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1999We sought to determine the possible association among vaginitis, cervicitis, and cervical length in pregnancy.Primigravid volunteers, between 20 and 36 weeks' gestation (n = 210), were examined. Vaginitis was diagnosed by pH determination and wet mount smear, cervicitis was diagnosed by cervicography, and cervical length was diagnosed by vaginal ...

Preterm birth (PTB) is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. With research efforts, the rate of PTB decreased to 11.4% in 2013. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) cervical length (CL) screening predicts PTB. In asymptomatic singletons without prior spontaneous PTB (sPTB), TVU CL screening should be done.

Cervical hydrosonography in pregnancy to assess cervical length by transabdominal ultrasound
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2000Some women's cervices cannot be evaluated because they are obscured by obesity or vertex-presenting fetuses. Measuring cervical length in these cases is difficult or impossible.We hypothesized that the problem of obscured cervices on transabdominal ultrasound could be resolved by introducing sterile water into the vagina, creating a hydroacoustic ...

Cervical Length Screening: Barriers to, and Patient Perception of, Cervical Length Measurement [31J]
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2019INTRODUCTION: Universal cervical length screening is not yet the standard of care in the United States, but meta-analyses suggest that such a practice could reduce the incidence of preterm delivery and is cost-effective. The objectives of this study were to 1) determine the prevalence of cervical length screenings among users ...
