Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
AIMS & OBJECTIVE: To assess the 1st trimester cervical length by Transvaginal USG as a predictor for spontaneous preterm birth. MATERIALS & METHODS: This cross sectional study was conducted from July 2012 to December 2012 in the antenatal clinic at PSGIMSR Hospitals. About 100 antenatal women who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study, the first trimester transvaginal ultrasonography was taken. These patients were followed up to determine gestational age at delivery. RESULTS: The data was entered into MS-Excel sheet and statistical analyses were performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19. All reported p-values are two-tailed, and confidence intervals were calculated at the 95% level. The data was presented using frequencies, percentages, descriptive statistics followed by charts, histogram and graphs. CONCLUSION: Cervical length by first trimester transvaginal ultrasonography is not a predictor for spontaneous preterm birth.
