Summary

Sonographically, cervical length measurement is widely used in obstetrics. Studies have revealed that early detection of short cervix can be a predictor of predicting preterm labor. Transvaginal ultrasonography has been shown as a reference method for the recognition of the short cervix, as well as it may be useful in the transabdominal evaluation in the studies conducted. In addition to the advantages of transvaginal evaluation, it is time consuming and disadvantages of some women during anxiety and discomfort during this procedure. Transabdominal ultrasonography, which provides a non-invasive evaluation, is more preferred by some patients than transvaginal. The aim of this study is to investigate the value of the cervical length measured by transabdominal route, which is a more acceptable method for pregnant women, in predicting preterm birth.
