| Popis: | Purpose. To evaluate the application of transvaginal sonography assessment of cervical length before fetal reduction for predicting sponta- neous preterm birth in triplet gestations reduced to twins. Methods. This retrospective study was conducted at the ultrasound unit of a university-affiliated municipal hospital. The study cohort consisted of 25 women with triplet gestations following ovulation induction or assisted-reproduction techniques who underwent fetal reduction to twins. Cervical length was assessed via transvaginal sonography before fetal reduction, and data on pregnancy outcome were retrieved from mater- nal records and/or maternal interviews. Results. Cervical length (mean ± SD) at reduction was 4.0 ± 0.85 (range: 1.2-5.5). Five women were excluded from statistical evaluation because preg- nancy complications precluded spontaneous delivery. Two of 3 (67%) women with a cervical length of |
