Brief Summary:
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the use of sonographic cervical length (CL) on the hospital stay in women admitted because of preterm labor.
Detailed Description:
Eligible women who agreed to participate in the study were randomized by means of a central randomization office into two groups:
CONTROL group: cervical length was measured but the result was blinded to the physician in charge and women was managed according to the standard protocol.
STUDY group: cervical length was measured and the result was reported to the physician in charge. If cervical length was of 25 mm or more, discharge in 12-24 h was recommended. If cervical length was less than 25 mm, decision on discharge was made following clinical criteria.
