It has been suggested that a potential mechanism of the pessary is alteration of the cervico\u2010uterine angle to a more posterior position, which reduces cervical compression in women with a singleton pregnancy and a short cervical length. Pessaries should not be used in routine clinical care to reduce the frequency of preterm birth or to improve outcomes (e.g. neonatal outcomes) related to preterm birth. In women with a twin pregnancy\u2014regardless of cervical length\u2014pessaries should not be used in routine clinical care to reduce the frequency of preterm birth or to improve outcomes (e.g. neonatal outcomes) related to preterm birth. Presently there is no sufficient evidence suggesting that pessaries should be used as a standard treatment to prevent preterm birth; their use should be reserved for study populations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ijgo.13837","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]],"date-time":"2021-09-14T09:25:16Z","timestamp":1631611516000},"page":"23-25","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["FIGO good practice recommendations on the use of pessary for reducing the frequency and improving outcomes of preterm birth"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"155","author":[{"given":"William A.","family":"Grobman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Feinberg School of Medicine Northwestern University Chicago Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Norman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Science Faculty Office University of Bristol Bristol UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Jacobsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Women and Children\u2019s Health King\u2019s College London UK"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Institute of Clinical Science Sahlgrenska Academy University of Gothenburg Gothenburg Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Sahlgrenska University Hospital Gothenburg Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Genetics and Bioinformatics Domain of Health Data and Digitalization Institute of Public Health Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"the FIGO Working Group for Preterm Birth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(12)60030-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1511014"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2017.18956"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","first-page":"283","article-title":"Cerclage pessary for preventing preterm birth in women with a singleton pregnancy and a short cervix at 20 to 24 weeks: a randomized controlled trial","volume":"30","author":"Hui SY","year":"2013","journal-title":"Am J Perinatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)61408-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0000000000003136"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2015.11.012"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","first-page":"e1","article-title":"Cervical pessary placement for prevention of preterm birth in unselected twin pregnancies: a randomized controlled trial","volume":"214","author":"Nicolaides KH","year":"2016","journal-title":"Am J Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.1003506"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.18908"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Gynecology &amp; Obstetrics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ijgo.13837","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/ijgo.13837","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ijgo.13837","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,28]],"date-time":"2023-09-28T11:34:59Z","timestamp":1695900899000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ijgo.13837"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ijgo.13837"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ijgo.13837","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0020-7292","1879-3479"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0020-7292","type":"print"},{"value":"1879-3479","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2021-05-11","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2021-07-21","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2021-09-14","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
