Article Synopsis
- Accurately predicting preterm births is difficult, leading to a study that compares the effectiveness of cervical length assessment, contraction recording via cardiotocography (CTG), cervical funneling, and the Bishop score in forecasting preterm labor.
- The study involved 371 women with singleton pregnancies who were monitored until childbirth, analyzing data from 218 participants using STATA software to determine the diagnostic performance of each method.
- Findings revealed that CTG had the highest sensitivity for predicting imminent birth, while the Bishop score offered the best specificity and positive predictive value, indicating that cervical length testing also showed good predictive performance compared to the other methods.

September 2022
In this prospective cohort study, we aimed to investigate external validity of the Allouche's nomogram to predict preterm birth in symptomatic women in Iran. We employed six variables of cervical length, uterine contractions, rupture of membranes, vaginal bleeding, gestational age, and multiple pregnancy to draw the nomograms. These variables were examined in the first day of women's hospitalization and participants followed up until giving birth.

Design: Cross-sectional.
Methods: We recruited 409 women with threatened preterm labour, hospitalized at two tertiary hospitals.
Women's experience and satisfaction with childbirth care are increasingly being addressed by health care providers, managers, and policymakers. Due to need for a validated special scale for assessing satisfaction of women with preterm birth, we aimed to translate and adapt the first specific tool, Preterm Birth Experiences and Satisfaction Scale (P-BESS), into Persian language and evaluate its psychometric properties. A methodological and cross-sectional study was conducted in two tertiary levels of maternal hospitals in Tabriz.
