Frequency and clinical significance of short cervix in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes.

PLoS ONE, 2017
ObjectiveCervical length measurement has been uggested as a useful tool for predicting intra-amniotic infection/inflammation in preterm labor, but little information is available in the setting of preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM).

A force‐measuring device combined with ultrasound‐based elastography for assessment of the uterine cervix

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2022
Introduction In this feasibility study, we hypothesize that the evaluation of cervical biomechanical strength can be improved if cervical length measurement is supplemented with quantitative elastography, which is a technique based on conventional ...

Transvaginal ultrasonographic measurement of cervical length in asymptomatic high‐risk women with a short cervical length in the previous pregnancy [PDF]

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2011
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 ...
