Summary

Preterm delivery occurs in about 5-18% of pregnancies before 37 weeks' gestation all over the world.It is associated with a high prevalence of neurological deficits, developmental disabilities and is a leading cause of infant and neonatal mortality.

Many of the methods used for predicting preterm birth has not been proven efficacy and is not currently recommended for use.The length of the cervix has been one of the most useful methods in predicting the risk of premature delivery. Detection rates may be improved if combined with other parameters such as the uterocervical angle as a new predictor of spontaneous preterm birth.

In this study we will compare between using the uterocervical angle and cervical length in the prediction of preterm labour.
