[Sequential use of cervical length measurement before fetal fibronectin detection to predict spontaneous preterm delivery in women with preterm labor].
To test a sequential test with fetal fibronectin detection after ultrasound measurement of cervical length to predict preterm delivery in women with preterm labor. ⋯ A sequential test with selective use of fetal fibronectin detection in population selected by ultrasound measurement of cervical length appears to be as effective than fetal fibronectin detection or cervical length alone for predicting preterm birth, if preterm labor, avoiding more than one third of fibronectin tests.
