A Study to Assess Effect of Cervical Length on Preterm Delivery in a Tertiary Care Institute
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Risk assessment of preterm delivery remains difficult and part of clinical problems arises from the absence of objective criteria for the prediction of early diagnosis of preterm labour. A decrease in cervical length in the second trimester is predictive of spontaneous preterm birth, with the highest risk in women with early and substantial cervical shortening. Till now very few reports of serial transvaginal ultrasonographic measurements of cervical length design prospectively in the evaluation of preterm labour are available. The studies on the correlation of length of cervix during pregnancy and outcome of pregnancy as preterm labour or full term delivery are also scanty. The present study was thus conducted with the objective of assessing the cervical length amongst the low risk pregnant women and to determine the effect of cervical length on outcome of pregnancy.
