Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Perinatal Research

Background:

  • Cervical cerclage is a recognized treatment for pregnancies at risk of preterm birth.
  • Existing evidence primarily supports its use in singleton pregnancies.
  • Unanswered questions remain regarding adjunct therapies and efficacy in diverse high-risk populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current evidence supporting cervical cerclage for preventing preterm birth.
  • To identify knowledge gaps and areas requiring further research in specific high-risk subgroups.
  • To evaluate the role of adjunct therapies in conjunction with cervical cerclage.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of existing studies on cervical cerclage.
  • Analysis of evidence for efficacy in singleton versus multiple gestations.
  • Identification of research deficits concerning specific indications and adjunctive treatments.

Main Results:

  • Cervical cerclage is effective in specific scenarios, particularly for singleton pregnancies.
  • Data on adjunct therapies and efficacy in heterogeneous high-risk groups is limited.
  • Significant gaps exist in understanding optimal cerclage protocols for all at-risk populations.

Conclusions:

  • Cervical cerclage remains a vital intervention for preventing preterm birth in selected high-risk pregnancies.
  • Further research is crucial to optimize its application, especially concerning adjunct therapies and subgroup efficacy.
  • Clarifying these areas will improve management strategies for women at risk of premature delivery.
