Prediction of preterm delivery in twin pregnancy: a prospective, observational study of cervical length and fetal fibronectin testing

Abstract

This study confirms the value of transvaginal ultrasound assessment of cervical length as a predictor of preterm delivery in twin pregnancies. However, the poor sensitivity of this test makes it unsuitable as a single predictor of preterm delivery. Fetal fibronectin testing does not identify twin pregnancies destined to deliver prematurely.
