Summary

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of cervical cerclage combined with progesterone versus progesterone alone in preventing preterm birth among women with twin pregnancies and a short cervix (cervical length ≤ 30 mm). Participants will be randomly allocated to either the intervention group (cerclage plus progesterone) or the control group (progesterone alone).

Conditions

  • Preterm

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Cervical cerclage

Participants will receive cervical cerclage according to local protocols within one week after randomization. The procedure will be performed by two to three senior clinicians experienced in cerclage in each center, using the McDonald technique.

DRUG

Progesterone

Vaginal micronized progesterone will be administered at a total daily dose of 400 mg, given as Utrogestan® 200 mg (Besins Healthcare, France) twice daily, in the morning and at bedtime. Participants will be asked to record their vaginal progesterone application in a patient diary sheet for up to 140 days.
