To investigate the effect of cervical cerclage or conservative treatment on maternal and neonatal outcomes in singleton gestations with a sonographic short cervix, and further compare the relative treatment value.A retrospective study was conducted among women with singleton gestations who had a short cervical length (<25 mm) determined by ultrasound during the period of 14 to 24 weeks' gestation in our institution.
