Are Cervical Length and Fibronectin Predictors of Preterm Birth after Fetal Spina Bifida Repair? A Single Center Cohort Study

Background: A remaining risk of fetal spina bifida (fSB) repair is preterm delivery. This study assessed the value of preoperative cervical length (CL), CL dynamics (∆CL) and fetal fibronectin (fFN) tests to predict obstetric complications and length of stay (LOS) around fSB repair. Methods: 134 pat...
