The impact of cervical conization size with subsequent cervical length changes on preterm birth rates in asymptomatic singleton pregnancies

Abstract The study aimed to explore the impact of cervical conization size (CCS) with subsequent cervical length (USCL) changes on preterm birth (PTB) rates in asymptomatic singleton pregnancies as compared to pregnancy outcomes in healthy women with an intact cervix (ICG), and to estimate PTB preve...
