Prevention of Preterm Birth Based on Short Cervix: Progesterone

Seminars in Perinatology, 2009
Preterm delivery, which occurs in about 5%-13% of pregnancies in most countries, is the main cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Symptomatic treatment of pregnancies presenting in preterm labor with corticosteroids has improved perinatal outcome but has not reduced the incidence of preterm delivery.

Short cervix on ultrasound: Does indomethacin prevent preterm birth?

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2005
Our aim was to estimate if indomethacin therapy prevents preterm birth (PTB) in women with a short cervical length (CL) on transvaginal ultrasound (TVU).Individual-level data from all randomized trials including asymptomatic women with a short CL on TVU were analyzed for use of indomethacin at the time of the short CL. The trials eligible would be ones

Can Transabdominal Cervical Length Measurement Exclude Short Cervix?

American Journal of Perinatology, 2015
This study aims to determine if transabdominal (TA) cervical length may be used to rule out a short cervix on transvaginal (TV) ultrasound.We conducted a prospective cohort study of women undergoing routine anatomic survey at 17 to 23 weeks gestation. TA and TV cervical length measurements were obtained in each patient. A short cervix was defined as TV

Anticipatory Corticosteroid Administration to Asymptomatic Women with a Short Cervix

American Journal of Perinatology, 2017
Objective A short cervix is an important risk factor for spontaneous preterm birth. There is substantial evidence that antenatal exposure to corticosteroids significantly benefits infants that are born when delivery occurs between 24 and 34 weeks' gestation and after 48 hours but within 7 days of their administration.

Short cervix syndrome: current knowledge from etiology to the control

Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 2013
Preterm delivery is one of the most serious public health problems and is the most important factor relating to neonatal morbidity and mortality. The strategies for preventing it include understanding the risk factors, with specific interventions. Recently, uterine cervix measurements using ultrasonography and vaginal administration of progesterone ...

Intra-Amniotic Sludge, Short Cervix, and Risk of Preterm Delivery

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada, 2006
To evaluate the association between intra-amniotic sludge seen at cervical ultrasound and preterm delivery.This retrospective study included women at high risk for preterm delivery who were referred for second trimester cervical length measurement by ultrasound between 18 and 32 weeks' gestation.

Short and inflamed cervix predicts spontaneous preterm birth (COLIBRI study)

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2013
To develop a new strategy of predicting spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) by combination of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) assessment and inflammatory proteins detection in vaginal secretions.Prospective study of 87 women referred for cervical length assessment with a standardized TVUS combined to vaginal secretions sampling.

Cerclage for Short Cervix on Ultrasonography

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2005
Preterm birth is the main cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. A short cervical length on transvaginal ultrasonography predicts preterm birth. Our aim was to estimate by meta-analysis of randomized trials whether cerclage prevents preterm birth in women with a short cervical length.MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched ...
