    (2006) Hassan, S; Romero, R; Hendler, I; Gomez, R; Khalek, N; Espinoza, J; Nien, JK; Berry, SM; Bujold, E; Camacho, N; Sorokin, Y
    Objective: A sonographically short cervix is a powerful predictor of spontaneous preterm delivery. However, the etiology and optimal management of a patient with a short cervix in the mid-trimester of pregnancy remain uncertain. Microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) and intra-amniotic inflammation are frequently present in patients with spontaneous preterm labor or acute cervical insufficiency. This study was conducted to determine the rate of MIAC and intra-amniotic inflammation in patients with a cervical length < 25 mm in the mid-trimester.
