Association between the timing of cervical cerclage placement and postoperative outcomes: A retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: PurposeTo explore the association between the timing of cervical cerclage placement and postoperative outcomes.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed postoperative outcomes in pregnant women who underwent cervical cerclage at our hospital between January 2020 and December 2023. Participants were divided into nonterm and term birth groups.ResultsCompared with the term birth group, the nonterm birth group had significantly shorter cervical length (10.02 ± 8.17 vs. 23.40 ± 10.93 mm; p < 0.001), wider cervical orifice width (7.50 ± 10.71 vs. 1.12 ± 4.79 mm; p < 0.001), longer duration of postoperative hospitalization (29.53 ± 22.76 vs. 18.12 ± 21.26 days; p < 0.001), longer administration period of tocolytics (28.13 ± 22.26 vs. 16.15 ± 21.30 days; p < 0.001), lower neonatal birth age (33.07 ± 3.27
