A randomized controlled trial of cervical cerclage in women at high risk of spontaneous preterm delivery
Abstract
Summary. The effect of cervical suture on pregnancy outcome was studied in 194 women with a high risk (approximately 30%) of having a late abortion or a preterm delivery. The women were randomly allocated either to have a cervical suture inserted (n=96) or to be managed without a suture (n=98). There was no evidence that cervical cerclage either prolonged gestation or improved survival. Patients allocated to receive cerclage spent significantly longer in hospital, even when the period of admission for insertion was excluded. The patients in the cerclage group were more likely to receive tocolytic drugs, and more of them experienced puerperal pyrexia, although these differences between the groups were not statistically significant.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
