What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing

Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study followed 303 pregnant women who had a threatened preterm labor episode but did not deliver right away. Researchers measured their cervix length with ultrasound at several time points to see if shortening over time could predict spontaneous preterm birth before 37 weeks. The goal is to improve prediction and possibly guide future care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a better way to predict which women are at risk of delivering early after a preterm labor scare.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find a clear link, and results may not apply to all pregnant women.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
