Transvaginal ultrasonography of the uterine cervix in hospitalized women with preterm labor

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the relation between cervical length and the presence of funneling and the risk of preterm delivery. Method: This prospective blind cohort involved 200 hospitalized women with preterm labor in a tertiary care hospital. Women were recruited for a single...

Summary:Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the relation between cervical length and the presence of funneling and the risk of preterm delivery. Method: This prospective blind cohort involved 200 hospitalized women with preterm labor in a tertiary care hospital. Women were recruited for a single transvaginal ultrasonography to assess cervical length and presence of funneling. The main outcome measures were: (1) relative risks (RR) and adjusted odds ratios of preterm delivery (
