- Abstract
Elastography index, SP score and CL differed between preterm and normal pregnancies (1.61 vs. 1.27, p < 0.001; SP score value of "2": n = 31 (62%) vs. n = 36 (12.6%), p < 0.001; CL 30.7 vs. 41.0mm, p < 0.001; respectively). Elastography index and SP score were associated with a higher predictive potential than CL measurement alone (AUC 0.8059 (Area under the curve); AUC 0.7716; AUC 0.7631; respectively). Higher elastography index and SP scores were correlated with an elevated risk of SPTD and are superior to CL measurement as a predictive marker.
