Patients who were managed expectantly and had a follow\u2010up CL measurement within 3 weeks were included. Delivery data were obtained from the patients' computerized medical records.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Sixty\u2010eight patients met the inclusion criteria. 37% of the patients had a shorter CL on the second measurement. These patients delivered at an earlier gestational age (36 + 4 vs. 38 + 2 weeks, P = 0.031) and were more likely to deliver at < 37 weeks (60% vs. 26%, P = 0.009). The change in the CL correlated with earlier gestational age at delivery and delivery at < 37 weeks.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n In patients diagnosed with a short cervix, follow\u2010up CL measurement is a strong predictor of preterm delivery. Greater change in the CL correlates with an earlier gestational age at delivery. In the patient diagnosed with a short cervix, a repeat measurement of CL gives additional predictive value.
