Why is it important?
Preterm birth is the second most frequent direct cause of death in children younger than 5 years old1–3 and it is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in developed countries
Perspectives
The patients with short cervix, are a very heterogeneous group. If we can select individual characteristics of the short cervix and create homogeneous groups, the research results will be more reliable
