Objectives: To study the relevance between cervical length (CL) and different maternal/neonatal
outcomes in pregnancies complicated with placenta previa/accreta.
Methods: Three hundred twenty-eight women, who had medically free singleton live pregnancies
with the diagnosis of placenta previa and/or accreta, were included and divided regarding
their CL into two groups. Threatened preterm labor, maternal tocolysis, multiple gestations, polyhydramnios,
ruptured fetal membranes, fetal complications, history of cervical conization, and
the presence of cervical cerclage were the exclusion criteria. Demographic data, obstetric history,
as well as, the courses of the complicated pregnancies were collected and statistically
analyzed.
Results: The short CL group had significantly less distance between the placenta and the
internal cervical os (p-value |
