Reducing the Rate of Prematurity Worldwide

There is now convincing evidence that vaginal progesterone treatment can prevent premature delivery in pregnant women diagnosed with a prematurely short cervix.

For example, the study by Hassan et al. showed a 45% reduction in preterm birth and improved neonatal outcomes for patients with a cervical length between 10-20 mm. The meta-analysis by Dr. Romero et al. demonstrated the efficacy of this intervention for patients with a cervical length less than 25 mm.

As Dr. Campbell says, “Doing nothing is no longer an option.” There is a known risk, and now there’s an intervention that can save lives and dollars. It’s time for cervical length measurements for all pregnant women.
