Antenatal cervical length measurement as a predictor of successful vaginal birth. [PDF]
Abstract Background Antenatal cervical length measurement has paramount importance in the prediction of labor. It was compared to the Bishop Score and incorporated in the modified Bishop score due to its relevance and convenience. It is a more accurate tool that imposes no harm or distress to the patients.

Cervical length measurement: Comparison of transabdominal and transvaginal approach. [PDF]
AbstractObjective: To compare transabdominal (TA) and transvaginal (TV) ultrasound assessment of cervical length at 16–41 weeks gestation.Methods: TA and TV ultrasound measurements of cervical length were made on 491 pregnancies of 16–41 weeks gestation. Cervical length was measured from internal to external cervical os. Bland‐Altman plots and Wilcoxon

Cervical Sonoelastography and Cervical Length Measurement but not Cervicovaginal Interleukin-6 Are Predictors for Preterm Birth. [PDF]
Purpose: 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.

Gestational age at cervical length measurement and preterm birth in twins [PDF]
AbstractObjectivesTo estimate the risk of preterm delivery of twin pregnancies based upon sonographic cervical length measurement and gestational age at measurement.MethodsTwin pregnancies that delivered between 1999 and 2005 and that underwent sonographic measurement of cervical length between 13 and 34 + 6 weeks' gestation were identified and a ...

How to measure cervical length [PDF]
Cervical-length measurement using transvaginal sonography (TVS) is an essential part of assessing the risk of preterm delivery. At mid-gestation, it provides a useful method with which to predict the likelihood of subsequent preterm birth in asymptomatic women.

Sonographic measurement of cervical length in preterm prelabor amniorrhexis [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveTo 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.MethodsIn 101 women with singleton pregnancies presenting with preterm prelabor amniorrhexis at 24–36 (median, 32) weeks of ...

Repeated cervical length measurements for the verification of short cervical length
AbstractObjectiveTo determine if the verification of short cervical length with a repeated measurement improved the identification of patients with short cervical length at increased risk of preterm delivery.MethodsThe present secondary analysis analyzed prospective cohort study data from patients with singleton pregnancies without a history of preterm

Transvaginal ultrasonographic measurement of cervical length in asymptomatic high‐risk women with a short cervical length in the previous pregnancy [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveTo determine if asymptomatic women at high risk of preterm delivery who had a short cervical length in their previous pregnancy and delivered at term are at increased risk of having a short cervical length in their next pregnancy, and whether they are at increased risk of preterm birth.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included ...

Adherence to criteria for transvaginal ultrasound imaging and measurement of cervical length [PDF]
Adherence to published criteria for transvaginal imaging and measurement of cervical length is uncertain. We sought to assess adherence by evaluating images submitted to certify research sonographers for participation in a clinical trial.
