Description
Kyong-No Lee and co-authors (2023) asked what predicts early birth even after a preventive stitch is placed in the cervix. The stitch, called ultrasound-indicated cerclage, is offered to women whose cervix measures short in mid-pregnancy and who have delivered early before. Reviewing cases at one university hospital, the team tested which factors went with spontaneous preterm birth after the procedure.
Placing the stitch earlier in pregnancy and a shorter cervix at the time both raised the risk. A past early birth did not raise the risk of another one directly, though it did raise the chance of needing a repeat stitch. Higher blood inflammation markers before surgery and obesity also significantly increased the risk. The authors offer the findings as guidance for counseling women on when delivery is likely after the stitch.
