The aim of this study was to assess the effect of vaginal progesterone as an adjuvant therapy to physical‐exam‐indicated cervical cerclage (PEICC).
Methods
This retrospective cohort study included 53 consecutive singleton women who underwent PEICC because of acute cervical insufficiency at 17–24 gestational weeks. The study population was divided into two groups: the adjuvant progesterone group (n = 18) and the non‐adjuvant group (n = 35).
