Abstract:
Preventing preterm birth is crucial, and our prospective study underscores the necessity for continuous research into effective strategies. One approach that has shown promise is the use of cervical pessaries before 34 weeks of pregnancy. Although some studies have shown positive outcomes when combining cervical pessaries with other treatments such as progesterone, there is currently insufficient statistical evidence to firmly support this assertion. Moreover, further research is warranted to comprehensively understand the implications of singleton pregnancies and long-term outcomes for both mothers and infants. Exploring this avenue of investigation could yield valuable insights into potential associations between premature birth and adult health concerns.
