Changes of uterocervical angle and cervical length in early and mid-pregnancy and their value in predicting spontaneous preterm birth [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
Objective: To explore the feasibility of transvaginal ultrasound measurement of uterocervical angle (UCA) and cervical length (CL) in early and mid-pregnancy and evaluate their combined prediction of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) in singleton ...

The predictive nature of uterocervical angles in the termination of second trimester pregnancy

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2018
To establish how useful and the predictive capacity of uterocervical angles (UCA) in the termination of second trimester pregnancies.This prospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary center with a total of 120 singleton pregnancies delivered between 14 and 24 gestational weeks.

Uterine angle changes during the in vitro fertilization treatment cycle [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Studies have focused on uterine peristalsis and endometrial development, whereas knowledge is limited on cyclical changes in the uterocervical angle (the angle formed between the uterine corpus and cervix) during the menstrual cycle.

Assessment of Uterocervical Angle as a predictor of spontaneous preterm birth

Orapuh Journal
Introduction The changes in the “uterocervical angle (UCA)” have been reported to play a crucial role in “spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB)”. Purpose The study aimed “to determine whether the UCA correlates with the risk of early 28-34 weeks and

Stabilization of cervical stiffness associated with cervical pessary placement in women at risk for preterm birth. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
PurposeShortening of the cervix is a predictor of spontaneous preterm birth (PTB). It is assumed that a cervical pessary reduces mechanical stress on the internal os and consequently decreases the risk of premature delivery. The primary aim of this study

Uterocervical angle as a predictor for spontaneous singleton preterm birth: a prospective observational study

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Background The use of cervical length (CL) to predict spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) is limited in performance due to the low prevalence of a short cervix in the Thai population.

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.

The Uterocervical Angle Combined with Bishop Score as a Predictor for Successful Induction of Labor in Term Vaginal Delivery. [PDF]

J Clin Med, 2021
The objective of this study was to determine the value of uterocervical angle (UCA) in predicting successful induction of labor (IOL) in singleton pregnant women compared to the Bishop score and cervical length (CL). A total of 205 normal term, singleton
