The women were categorized according to prematurity into one of two groups: those admitted at &lt; 32 weeks (Group 1, very preterm) and those admitted at \u2265 32 weeks (Group 2, preterm). Transvaginal ultrasound was performed 24\u201348 h after admission and cervical length measured. The predictive value of different cut\u2010off points was explored. Outcome variables were spontaneous preterm delivery within 7 days of admission and delivery at &lt; 34 weeks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean ( \u00b1 SD) gestational ages at admission and delivery were 31.9 ( \u00b1 2.6) and 37.5 ( \u00b1 2.2) weeks, respectively, and the mean ( \u00b1 SD) cervical length was 30.4 ( \u00b1 8.9) mm. The rates of spontaneous delivery within 7 days and at &lt; 34 weeks were 6.3 and 7.0%, respectively. The cut\u2010off value of 15\u2010mm cervical length showed a sensitivity, negative predictive value and false positive rate for delivery within 7 days of 0, 96.5 and 2.7% in the very preterm group, and 35.3, 94.6 and 4% in the preterm group, respectively. For a cut\u2010off point of 25 mm, these values were 75, 99 and 14.3%, and 70.6, 96.8 and 24.5%.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The predictive value of different cut\u2010off points of cervical length is similar at different gestational ages. However, the higher false positive rate after 32 weeks' gestation might justify the adoption of gestational\u2010age related cut\u2010off values in clinical protocols. In women admitted at &lt; 32 weeks' gestation, a cut\u2010off point of 25 mm may be used to predict a low risk of preterm delivery, whereas in women admitted at 32 weeks or later, 15 mm might be more appropriate.
