Relationship between cervical elastography and spontaneous onset of labor
Cervical elastography might be an objective method for evaluating cervical ripening during pregnancy, but its usefulness has not been fully investigated. We examined the significance of cervical elastography in the last trimester of pregnancy. Cervical elastography was performed at weekly checkups a...

description | Cervical elastography might be an objective method for evaluating cervical ripening during pregnancy, but its usefulness has not been fully investigated. We examined the significance of cervical elastography in the last trimester of pregnancy. Cervical elastography was performed at weekly checkups after 36 weeks of gestation in 238 cases delivered at our hospital from 2017 to 2018. The correlation with the onset time of natural labor, which is an index for judging maternal delivery preparation status, was examined. A total of 765 examinations were conducted, and cervical stiffness determined by cervical elastography was positively correlated with the Bishop score (r = 0.46, p < 0.0001). When examined separately for each week, only the examinations performed at 39 weeks were associated with the onset of spontaneous labor up to 7 days later (p = 0.0004). Furthermore, when stratified and analyzed by the Bishop score at 39 weeks of gestation, cervical elastography was associated with the occurrence of spontaneous labor pain for up to seven days in the groups with Bishop scores of 3–5 and 6–8 (p = 0.0007 and p = 0.03, respectively). In conclusion, cervical elastography at 39 weeks of pregnancy is useful for judging the delivery time. |
