We previously demonstrated that pregnant women with a history of cervical insufficiency had a softer anterior cervical lip, shorter cervical length and wider endocervical canal in the first trimester....
This was a secondary analysis of cervical changes in singleton pregnancies after cerclage from January 2016 to June 2018. Cervical elastography, cervical length, and endocervical canal width were meas...
Among the 339 pregnant women enrolled, 24 had a history of cervical insufficiency and underwent cerclage. Both anterior and posterior cervical lips were significantly softer in the cervical insufficie...
Cervical cerclage can prevent widening of the endocervical canal, but not improve cervical elasticity or cervical length. Measuring anterior cervical elastography and cervical length may be valuable t...
Preterm birth (PTB), complications of which account for approximately 35% of deaths among neonates, remains a crucial issue. Cervical insufficiency (CI) is defined as the inability of the utrine cervi...
In this single-center retrospective case-control study, singleton pregnancy women who received cervical cerclage and uEMG assessment between January 2018 and January 2022 at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial H...
32 PTBs were observed of the 69 women who underwent assessment. Based on multivariate logistic regression analysis, PTB after cerclage was significantly associated with previous PTB history or mid-tri...
The uEMG effectively predicts PTB after transvaginal cervical cerclage and provides a new method for clinicians to evaluate the pregnancy outcome of CI patients....
To identify the effect and optimal time of cervical cerclage in asymptomatic twin pregnancies with cervical shortening or dilation....
This observational retrospective study enrolled all women with asymptomatic twin pregnancies who were diagnosed with asymptomatic cervical shortening or dilation at the Second Affiliated Hospital of W...
The gestational age (GA) at delivery was higher (P = 0.005) and the interval time between the presentation of the indicated cerclage and delivery was longer in the cerclage group (P < 0.001). The rate...
Cerclage appears to prolong the GA at delivery and the interval time between the presentation to delivery, and may reduce the incidence of PTB before 28, 32 and 34 weeks of gestation and adverse perin...
This retrospective cohort study aimed to assess the efficacy of emergency cervical cerclage (ECC) performed with the combined McDonald-Shirodkar technique in twin pregnancies between 18 and 26 weeks o...
A retrospective cohort study matched with the degree of cervical dilation was conducted. The study group (case group) included women with twin pregnancies undergoing combined McDonald-Shirodkar approa...
A total of 84 twin pregnancies were managed with either the combined McDonald-Shirodkar approach (case group: n = 42) or the McDonald approach (control group: n = 42). Demographic characteristics were...
ECC performed with the combined McDonald-Shirodkar procedure in women with twin pregnancies who have cervical dilation 1 to 6 cm in midtrimester pregnancy may reduce the rate of spontaneous preterm bi...
The protocol for delayed-interval delivery of the second twin in twin pregnancies has not been standardized. Cervical cerclage is often performed, but its use is debated. To conduct a scoping review o...
Seven Chinese and English language databases were searched from inception to March 1, 2023, including PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP Chinese Science Journal Data...
A total of 102 articles were retrieved. After screening and exclusion of duplicate and irrelevant articles, 22 articles meeting the inclusion criteria were obtained. Studies in which cerclage was perf...
After excluding patients with contraindications, emergency cervical cerclage can be considered in cases of spontaneous abortion of the first twin in twin pregnancies to prolong the gestation and impro...
The leading hypothesis of the pathogenesis of cervical insufficiency suggests a role of cervical inflammation. Urogenital tract infections could play a causative role in this process. To test this hyp...
This single center retrospective study reviewed the records of all women with a singleton pregnancy that underwent cervical cerclage (n = 203) between 2010 and 2020 at the University Hospital of Leuve...
Positive pre-cerclage urogenital cultures were associated with lower GA at delivery in TVC III (positive culture 26w4d ± 40d vs. negative 29w6d ± 54d, p = 0.036). For TVC I, GA at delivery was longer ...
Positive urogenital cultures taken before clinically indicated cerclage intervention may be associated with lower GA at delivery. However, there seems to be no benefit of antibiotic treatment or routi...
This study aims to investigate the predictive value of hemogram parameters in early preterm delivery (32 gestational weeks and below) among pregnant women who have undergone cervical cerclage, based o...
Between 2010 and 2020, a total of 161 patients underwent cervical cerclage. The participants were divided into three groups. Group 1 (n=92) consisted of pregnant women who underwent prophylactic cercl...
In Group 1, all hemogram parameters showed no significant differences between deliveries below and above 32 weeks. In Group 2, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio value before cerclage was higher in th...
The use of hemogram parameters to predict early preterm delivery in pregnant women undergoing prophylactic cerclage is not appropriate. However, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio value can predict early ...
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Mersilene tape versus alternative suture types in prolonging singleton pregnancies as well as other pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, in cases of history...
A systematic review was conducted to identify relevant studies comparing different suture types in cervical cerclage procedures. The primary outcome of interest was preterm birth (PTB) rate < 37, <35,...
A total of five studies, including three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and two retrospective studies, with a combined participation of 2325 individuals, were included. The pooled analysis indica...
Our findings suggest that Mersilene tape does not reduce the risk of PTB before 37, 28 or 24 weeks. We observed higher risk of preterm birth between 34 and 37 weeks with Mersilene tape but lower incid...
Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, and cervical incompetence (CIC) is a significant contribution. Cervical cerclage (CC) is an effective obstetric ...
The sociodemographic characteristics and clinical data of patients with a diagnosis of cervical incompetence who underwent ultrasound- and physical examination-indicated transvaginal cervical cerclage...
This study included 141 participants who underwent cervical cerclage, including 71 with ultrasound-indicated cerclage and 70 with physical examination-indicated cerclage. Compared to those in the ultr...
In patients with cervical insufficiency, ultrasound-indicated cervical cerclage appears to lead to better pregnancy outcomes than physical examination-indicated cerclage. Twin pregnancy and maternal b...
To determine the predictive value of maternal White Blood Cells (WBC), neutrophils, and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) for diagnosing Histological Chorioamnionitis (HCA) among women with Preterm Premature R...
A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted among women with singleton pregnancy and PPROM, who underwent cervical cerclage during 2018-2020....
A total of 55 eligible women were included in the final analysis, including 36 (61.02%) cases with HCA and 19 (38.98%) without HCA. Women with HCA had higher WBC count (12.31 ± 2.80) × 10...
Combination use of WBC+neutrophil was found to be the most accurate predictor of HCA among women with PPROM after surgery of cervical cerclage....
