Popis:	Abstract Objectives The objective of our study is to examine cervical length measurements, identification of short cervix, vaginal progesterone use, and rate of spontaneous preterm delivery before and after departmental transition to a universal transvaginal ultrasound screening protocol from a universal transabdominal screening protocol. Methods This is a retrospective observational pre–post study examining the year prior to and year following a transition to a universal transvaginal ultrasound screening protocol to assess cervical length at the time of the anatomy survey. Prior to this transition, universal transabdominal cervical length screening was performed, with reflex transvaginal ultrasound measurement if transabdominal measurement was
