Abstract

Objective: We aimed to predict the risks of preterm labor by measuringthe cervical length between 10 and 15 weeks gestation and between 20and 25 weeks gestation, in low risk pregnants.Methods: Our study group was formed in the outpatient clinic of the Ministryof Health Istanbul Education and Research Hospital with 118 pregnantswho fulfilled the inclusion criteria and wished to attend our studyduring routine antenatal screening. Delivery before 37 weeks gestationconstituted the preterm labor group, delivery after 37 weeks gestationconstituted the term group. Multiple pregnancies, previous preterm delivery,chronic diseases, history of preterm labor, previously diagnosed uterineabnormalities and fetal anomalies were stated as exclusion criteria.Results: In our study pregnant patients who delivered after 37 weeksgestation constituted 88.99% (n: 105) of the study group, whereas 11.01%(n: 13) pregnant patients delivered before 37 weeks gestation. Cervicallength measurements in both 10-15 weeks and 20-25 weeks were significantlyhigher in the term group (p

Özet

Amaç: Düşük riskli gebelerde, 10-15. haftalar ve 20-25. haftalar arasındaölçülen serviks uzunluğu ile preterm doğum ilişkisini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.Yöntemler: İstanbul Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Gebe PolikliniğineNisan 2008- Ocak 2009 tarihleri arasında rutin antenatal takip amacıylabaşvuran, çalışma kriterlerine uyan 118 gebe ile çalışma grubumuz oluşturuldu.Çoğul gebelikler, daha önce preterm doğum yapanlar, kronik hastalığıolanlar, bilinen uterin anomalisi olanlar ve fetal anomalili gebeliklerçalışma dışı tutuldu. 37. gebelik haftasından önceki doğumlar pretermdoğum grubunu, 37. gebelik haftasından sonraki doğumlar term doğumgrubunu oluşturdu.Bulgular: Çalışma kapsamındaki gebelerin %88,99'u 37. gebelik haftasınınüzerinde, %11,01'i 37. gebelik haftasının altında doğum yaptı. Termgrupta 10-15. ve 20-25. haftalardaki servikal uzunluk değerleri, pretermgruba göre anlamlı derecede fazla bulunmuştur (p
