Preterm birth (PTB) is a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality globally. PTB rates have increased in South Korea despite reduction in birth rates. A history of PTB is a strong predictor of subsequent PTB and screening of cervical length between 16 0/7 weeks and 24 0/7 weeks of gestation is recommended in women with a singleton pregnancy and a prior spontaneous PTB. However, the prediction and prevention of spontaneous PTBs in women without a prior PTB remain a matter of debate. The scope of this review article comprises cervical screening and prevention strategies for PTB in asymptomatic women without a prior PTB, based on recent evidence and guidelines.
早产是全球围产期发病和死亡的主要原因。尽管韩国的出生率有所下降,但早产率仍在上升。早产史是后续早产的有力预测指标,对于单胎妊娠且有自发早产史的女性,建议在妊娠16 0/7周至24 0/7周之间筛查宫颈长度。然而,对于无早产史女性的自发早产的预测和预防仍存在争议。基于近期的证据和指南,本文综述的范围包括对无早产史无症状女性的早产宫颈筛查和预防策略。
