Assessment of novel sonographic and biochemical tools for spontaneous preterm birth prediction in asymptomatic twin pregnancies [PDF]
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica ScandinavicaIntroduction Prematurity is a major global health issue. Twin pregnancies are a group at especially high risk of preterm birth. Sonographic mid‐trimester cervical length has limited accuracy in predicting preterm birth.

Evaluation of Uterocervical Angle and Cervical Length as Predictors of Spontaneous Preterm Birth [PDF]
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2022 Aim The aim of this article was to evaluate uterocervical angle (UCA) and cervical length (CL) measured at 16 to 24 weeks of gestation using transvaginal sonography (TVS) as predictors of spontaneous preterm birth.

Distribution of uterocervical angles of pregnant women at 16+ 0 to 23+ 6 weeks gestation with low risk for preterm birth: first vietnamese cohort of women with singleton pregnancies [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2023 Background Cervical length (CL) measured by ultrasound in the second trimester is a predictor of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). The uterocervical angle (UCA) has recently been suggested as a predictor to identify women at risk of sPTB. The aim of this

Assessment of Uterocervical Angle Width as a Predictive Factor of Preterm Birth: A Systematic Review of the Literature. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 2018 Background. Uterocervical angle (UCA) has been recently proposed as a potential marker that could accurately predict preterm birth (PTB). The purpose of the present systematic review is to accumulate current evidence and provide directions for future research. Materials and Methods.
