Ultrasonographic cervical length screening at 20-24 weeks of gestation in twin pregnancies for prediction of spontaneous preterm birth: A 10-year Taiwanese cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Shortened cervical length is one of the primary predictors for spontaneous preterm deliveries in twin pregnancies. However, there is lack of consensus regarding cut-off values. Recent evidence highlights that established cut-offs for cervical length screening might not always apply across different populations. This study aims to present the distribution of cervical length in Taiwanese twin pregnancies and to assess its predictive value for spontaneous preterm birth during mid-trimester screening.

Materials and methods

This retrospective analysis of cervical length screening in Taiwan evaluated 469 twin pregnancies between 20-24 weeks of gestation. Outcome data were obtained directly from the medical records of the delivery hospital. The study explored the predict
