women undelivered after their 1st episode of threatened preterm labor remain at high risk of spontaneous preterm birth if their CL drops below 10 mm at the time of hospital discharge or at any follow up visit up to 4 weeks later. CL measurement could be included in the antenatal care of these women, to stratify their risk of preterm birth, and to help clinicians improve pregnancy outcome.
