Assisted reproductive technology procedures were significantly associated with medically indicated very preterm birth (AOR 3.07; 95% CI 1.8\u20135.3) and treatments for precancerous cervical changes were significantly associated with spontaneous very preterm birth, as follows: conization\/cone biopsy (AOR 3.33; 95% CI 1.8\u20136.2) and cauterization\/ablation (AOR 2.27; 95% CI 1.4\u20133.8). Suction aspiration for abortion, abnormal Pap smear without treatment and abortion without instrumentation were not associated with very preterm birth. <jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Intracervical procedures are associated with very preterm birth. Notably, curettage rather than any other procedure associated with abortion appears to be implicated in the risk. The introduction of infection during cervical procedures may be the common link with risks found. Changing clinical practice in the management of abortion and human papillomavirus vaccination may lead to lowering the risks of very preterm birth.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0412.2011.01322.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,16]],"date-time":"2011-11-16T18:42:17Z","timestamp":1321468937000},"page":"204-210","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Intracervical
