Prediction of spontaneous preterm delivery in asymptomatic twin pregnancies using cervical length and granulocyte elastase

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate sonographic cervical length (CL) and granulocyte elastase (GE) in cervical secretion as predictors of preterm delivery in asymptomatic twin pregnancies. Materials and methods This study prospectively enrolled asymptomatic twin pregnancies with CL  Results Overall, we included 54 women with twin pregnancies, of which 12 (22.2%) had preterm deliveries prior to 34 weeks of gestation. A CL of Conclusion The combination of sonographic CL and GE of cervical secretion is useful to predict the risk of preterm delivery in asymptomatic twin pregnancies.
