Predictive role of transvaginal ultrasonographic measurement of cervical length at 34 weeks for late pre-term and late-term deliveries in nulliparous women

Objective: To investigate the predictive role of transvaginal ultrasonographic measurement of cervical length (CL) at 34 weeks of gestation in determining late-preterm and late-term deliveries in nulliparous women. Methods: CL was measured by transvaginal ultrasonography at 34 weeks in 318 women (si...

Description
Summary:Objective: To investigate the predictive role of transvaginal ultrasonographic measurement of cervical length (CL) at 34 weeks of gestation in determining late-preterm and late-term deliveries in nulliparous women. Methods: CL was measured by transvaginal ultrasonography at 34 weeks in 318 women (singleton, nulliparous, low-risk and vertex presentation). All women were followed-up till birth and delivered at hospital. Deliveries were classifed according to gestational week as late-preterm (34 0/7 to 36 6/7 weeks), term (37 0/7 to 40 6/7 weeks) and late-term (41 0/7 to 41 6/7 weeks). Results: There was a significant correlation between CL at 34 weeks and gestational week at delivery (r = 0.614, p
