The widespread introduction of screening methods allow to identify cervical dysplasia before having invasive cancer. The risk of developing cervical dysplasia persistence/recurrence following conization represent a major health issue. Although several studies tried to identify predictors for cervical dysplasia persistence/recurrence, no previous study has been conducted to develop a risk calculator. Read More

Serial cervical length (CL) measurement in mid-trimester is recommended in post-conization pregnancy to estimate the risk of spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB). A short mid-trimester cervix (CL < 25 mm) has been considered as a strong predictor for SPTB. However, the low incidence of short cervix limits the utility of mid-trimester CL measurement in prediction of SPTB. Read More
