Women with uterine anomalies are at increased risk of spontaneous preterm birth, particularly those with unicornuate uterus or uterus didelphys, but cervical surveillance did not identify these cases. Short cervix may be associated with SPTB in women with septate uterus. Preterm prelabor rupture of membranes occurred in 55% of SPTB. More research is required into etiology to help determine appropriate monitoring and treatment.
