Abstract

Objective: In our study we examined the predictive value of the cervical length and internal os dilatation (funneling) measurements among singleton pregnant women who are in between 18 and 24th gestational weeks according to the distribution of these lengths in above mentioned gestational weeks. Materials and Methods: 300 singleton pregnant women with no cerclage who applied to Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training Hospital between 01.01.2003 and 31.10.2004 for antenatal assessment were included in this study. After fetal measurements, measurements of cervical lengths and, if present, the measurements of internal cervical os dilatation by width and length were taken. The same measurements were repeated in 28th, 30th and 36th gestational weeks. The statistical analysis of the data were made by SPSS 9.00, INSTAT and Epi info 2000. Results: The average values of cervical lengths in the group that had preterm labor (n=107) in 18th, 20th, 22nd and 24th weeks were 28.85 mm, 28.38 mm, 27.33 mm and 26.27 mm, respectively. In the group that had term labor (n=193) these values were 38.05 mm, 37.37 mm, 36.43 mm, and 33.69 mm. The average values of cervical length with fundal pressure in the preterm group were 27.92 mm, 27.60 mm, 26.34 mm, and 25.35 mm, whereas in the term group these values were 37.76 mm, 37.16 mm, 36.00 mm, and 33.48 mm, respectively. Conclusion: We conclude when we take 30 mm as the threshold value, the measurement of the cervical length and internal os dilatation is a very valuable diagnostic method for the prediction of preterm labor.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızda 18–24. gebelik haftaları arasındaki tekiz gebeliklerde gebelik haftalarına göre servikal uzunluk dağılımını belirleyerek bu haftalardaki internal os dilatasyonu ve servikal uzunluk ölçümlerinin preterm doğumların ön tanısındaki değerini inceledik. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi gebe polikliniğine 01.01.2003–31.10.2004 tarihleri arasında rutin antenatal takip amacı ile başvuran, serklaj konulmamış, tekiz gebeliği olan, 18–24. gebelik haftaları arasındaki 300 gebe çalışmaya alındı. Fetal biyometrik ölçümleri alındıktan sonra servikal uzunlukları ölçüldü. İnternal os’da dilatasyon (funneling) oluşmuşsa enlemesine ve boylamasına ölçümleri alındı. Bu gebelerde 28, 32 ve 36. gebelik haftalarında aynı ölçümler tekrarlandı. Gebelere ait toplanan bilgilerin istatistiksel analizleri SPSS 9.00, INSTAT ve Epi info 2000 ile yapıldı. Bulgular: Servikal uzunluk değerlerinin ortalaması, preterm doğum yapan 107 gebede 18, 20, 22 ve 24. gebelik haftalarında sırası ile 28.85 mm, 28.38 mm, 27.33 mm, 26.27 mm iken, term doğum yapan 193 gebede bu sayılar 38.05 mm, 37.37 mm, 36.43 mm, 33.69 mm idi. Fundal bası ile servikal uzunluklar preterm doğum yapan grupta 18, 20, 22 ve 24. gebelik haftalarında 27.92 mm, 27.60 mm, 26.34 mm ve 25.35 mm iken, term doğum yapan grupta bu sayılar 37.76 mm, 37.16 mm, 36.00 mm ve 33.48 mm şeklindeydi. Sonuç: Çalışmamız sonucunda sınır değer olarak 30 mm’yi aldığımızda 18–24. gebelik haftaları arasında yapılan servikal uzunluk ve internal os dilatasyonu ölçümlerinin preterm doğumu önceden belirlemede tanı değeri oldukça yüksek yöntemler olduğunu gördük.
