CL was measured once by transvaginal ultrasound examination between 24 and 30 weeks. <b><i>Results:<\/i><\/b> The study sample consisted of 1,180 low-risk singleton pregnancies. 10 women (0.85%) had a SPD<sub>34<\/sub> and 60 (5.08%) had a SPD<sub>37<\/sub>. CL was shorter (p < 0.001) in the women who had a SPD<sub>34<\/sub> (median 11 mm) compared to the women who delivered after 34 weeks (median 31 mm). CL was shorter (p < 0.001) in the women who had a SPD<sub>37<\/sub> (median 22 mm) compared to the women who delivered after 37 weeks (median 31 mm). CL predicted SPD<sub>34<\/sub> (OR = 0.837, R<sup>2<\/sup> = 0.2768, AUC = 0.9406, p < 0.001) and SPD<sub>37<\/sub> (OR = 0.907, R<sup>2<\/sup> = 0.1085, AUC = 0.7584, p < 0.001). The model achieved a sensitivity of 70.0 and 38.3% for 10% false-positive rate for SPD<sub>34<\/sub> and SPD<sub>37<\/sub>, respectively. <b><i>Conclusions:<\/i><\/b> CL after 24 weeks is significantly shorter in women destined to have a SPD. In low-risk singleton pregnancies CL performs very well in predicting SPD<sub>34<\/sub> and adequately in predicting SPD<sub>37<\/sub>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000381144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,14]],"date-time":"2015-09-14T21:04:38Z","timestamp":1442264678000},"page":"200-204","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Prediction of Preterm Delivery by Late Cervical Length Measurement after 24 Weeks"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Ioannis","family":"Papastefanou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Athanasios","family":"Pilalis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4967-2505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Makarios","family":"Eleftheriades","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Athena P.","family":"Souka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199602293340904"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1469-0705.1998.12050312.x"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.32"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.5333"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa067815"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.9017"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD004947.pub3"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(12)60030-0"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.4018"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.2746"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.2723"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.5291"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/pd.2640"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000335686"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.12465"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/pd.4158"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/14767058.2014.986449"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/OGX.0b013e318270d5b2"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.13407"}],"container-title":["Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/381144","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/381144","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T17:50:24Z","timestamp":1745430624000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000381144"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015]]},"references-count":19,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,19]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000381144","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1015-3837","1421-9964"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1015-3837","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9964","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}}}
