OBJECTIVE: To estimate whether cervical and lower uterine segment characteristics other
than cervical length and funneling predict recurrent preterm birth. METHODS: We conducted …

Objective New tools are required to improve the identification of women who are at
increased risk for spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). Quantitative analysis of tissue texture …

Objective To examine the relationship between ultrasound‐determined cervical status and
pregnancy outcome in women 'at‐risk'of spontaneous preterm delivery. Design A …

Premature delivery is the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States. Currently,
premature delivery cannot be prevented and new treatments are difficult to develop due to …

The goal of this study was to explore the value of shear wave elastography (SWE) combined
with cervical length (CL) in the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) between 18 …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the inter-and intra-observer variabilities in
the cervical length (CL) measurement by transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) in the first and …

Objectives To examine the relationship between cervical length and gestational age in
normal pregnancy in nulliparous versus parous women. Methods We studied a cross …

Objectives To evaluate the ability of combinations of cervical length and maternal history to
assess the risk of spontaneous preterm birth, and to provide a simple procedure for the …

As pregnancy progresses, the cervix remodels from a rigid structure to one pliable enough to
allow delivery of a fetus, a process that involves progressive disorganization of cervical …

The objective of this study was to evaluate a novel automated test based on ultrasound
cervical texture analysis to predict spontaneous Preterm Birth (sPTB) alone and in …
