Article Abstract
Cervical cerclage is an established intervention for the management of pregnancies at high risk of preterm birth. Although studies exist to support its use in certain situations, particularly in singleton pregnancies, many questions such as adjunct therapies and efficacy in specific subgroups of high-risk women have not been fully elucidated. This review will assess the current evidence as well as areas where there is currently a paucity of data and an urgent requirement for further research.

Background: Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and long-term health complications. Cervical cerclage (CC) represents a critical intervention for extending pregnancy duration and enhancing neonatal survival in patients diagnosed with cervical insufficiency. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for preterm birth through a meta-analysis comparing outcomes between preterm and full-term deliveries following non-emergency CC.

To investigate the clinical efficacy of cervical cerclage in singleton pregnancy with different degrees of short cervix. The clinical data of singleton pregnant women who underwent transvaginal ultrasound examination at 18-24 weeks of gestation and found cervical dilation with cervical length (CL) ≤20 mm, and without history of spontaneous preterm delivery or late abortion in Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2021 to September 2023 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. According to the case control matching, 78 pregnant women in the cerclage group and 78 women in the conservative treatment group were finally included.
