Women's Obstetric History and Midtrimester Cervical Length Measurements by 2D/3D and Doppler Ultrasound.

Objective:  The aim of the present study was to compare the obstetric history and both two- and tri-dimensional ultrasound parameters according to different cervical lengths.

Methods:  The present cross-sectional study analyzed 248 midtrimester pregnant women according to cervical length and compared the data with the obstetric history and 2D/3D ultrasound parameters. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to cervical length: The Short Cervix group for cervical lengths ≥ 15 mm and < 25 mm ( = 68), the Very Short Cervix group for cervical lengths < 15 mm ( = 18) and the Control group, composed of 162 pregnant women with uterine cervical lengths ≥ 25 mm.

Emergency cerclage: gestational and neonatal outcomes.

Background: The gestational and neonatal outcomes of women with early cervical dilatation undergoing emergency cerclage were evaluated and compared with women treated with expectant management and bed rest.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of pregnant women admitted between 2001 and 2017 with a diagnosis of early cervical dilatation and/or bulging membranes. Patients with a singleton pregnancy of a fetus without malformations, between 16 and 25 weeks and 6 days, with cervical dilatation of 1 to 3 cm were included; patients who delivered or miscarried within 2 days after admission were excluded.
