- Title
Cervical Pessary to Prevent Preterm Birth.
- Authors
Silver, Robert M.; Branch, D. Ware
- Abstract
An editorial is presented which addresses the authors' views about the use of a cervical pessary device as a means of preventing a preterm birth, and it mentions another article which appears in the same issue of the journal and deals with a randomized clinical trial which shows a reduction in spontaneous preterm births in women with short cervixes. Perinatal death etiology and the societal costs of prematurity are assessed, along with neonatal mortality and morbidity risks.
