This study aimed to compare the maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes among singletons delivered at 36 weeks or later with cerclage during index pregnancy versus those without cerclage. ⋯ · Cerclage is associated with increased composite maternal adverse outcome in women at 36-41 weeks.. · Cerclage is associated with increased composite neonatal adverse outcome in women at 36-41 weeks.. · Increased chorioamnionitis and cesarean delivery rates are associated with cerclage in women at 36-41 weeks..
