Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study establishes the relationship between cervical length and whether it can be used to predict haemorrhage and preterm delivery in cases of placenta previa.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Some studies have reported an association between ultrasonographic decreased cervical length and the likelihood of complications as antepartum or post-partum haemorrhage requiring an emergency caesarean section (CS) .

The safety of trans-vaginal scanning is not in doubt, and the technique now has widespread acceptance. As a consequence, the clinical presentation of placenta previa has changed and most low lying placentas are diagnosed during the second trimester anomaly scan.

The objective of this study was to establish if there is a relation between transvaginal ultrasonographic measurement of cervical length in cases of placenta previa and whether it can be used as a predictor for antepartum haemorrhage or not.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age: 20-45 years old
2. Single Pregnancy
3. Fetal gestational age 28 to \< 36 weeks
4. Normal amniotic fluid index (AFI)

Exclusion Criteria

1. Threatened preterm labor and maternal use of vaginal progesterone.
2. Preterm premature rupture of membranes;
3. Polyhydramnios;
4. Presence of cercelage and history of cervical cone biopsy which both affect cervical length.
