An observational study in Cervical Length and Preterm Birth, sponsored by Universiti Putra Malaysia. Completed at 2 sites in Malaysia. Open to female participants. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-11-03.
Sponsored by Universiti Putra Malaysia · Observational
This is a prospective study where pregnant women between 16-24 weeks gestation attending the Antenatal Clinic, Fetomaternal clinic or Obstetrics \& Gynaecology Admission Centre (OGAC) at Hospital Serdang or Hospital Pengajar UPM will be recruited. BMI will be taken both during booking of pregnancy and at recruitment. Cervical length will be measured via transvaginal scan at recruitment time. We aim to assess the association between body mass index, cervical length and risk of preterm birth.
General Objective To assess the association between body mass index, cervical length and risk of preterm birth.
