Abstract

Background: Preterm birth, defined as delivery before 37 completed weeks of gestation, is a major public health concern worldwide, contributing significantly to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in perinatal care, the global incidence of preterm birth remains unchanged, highlighting the need for improved prediction and prevention strategies. Traditional methods such as transvaginal ultrasound measurement of cervical length have been used to predict preterm birth, but these methods have limitations. Advanced ultrasound techniques like 3D and 4D ultrasound offer enhanced imaging capabilities that may improve the accuracy of preterm birth prediction.
