Preterm birth (PTB) is the major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Worldwide, about 15 million babies are born too soon every year, causing 1.1 million deaths, as well as short- and long-term disability in countless survivors. Few prognostic tests are available to predict PTB. A short transvaginal ultrasound cervical length (TVU CL) has been shown to be a good predictor of PTB. Other strategies have been adopted for prevention of PTB. The evidence supports the use of vaginal progesterone in singleton pregnancies with short cervix. However, the predictive value of the research has recently been questioned, as the threat rate from preterms in the low-risk population has not decreased over time. Numerous clinical studies have been conducted to improve and identify effective prevention strategies in the threat of preterm birth. Among the parameters studied, in addition to the measurement of the uterine cervix and its complaints during the three trimesters of pregnancy, an evaluation of the cervical consistency index (CCI) was also proposed, i.e. an ultrasound evaluation of cervical softness.
