Abstract
ABSTRACTThe aim of our study is to verify whether some maternal features are related to pregnancy outcome of emergency cerclage when membranes are protruding through the dilated cervix. We present a retrospective review of 20 cases of emergency cervical cerclage performed over a 3 years period at Al Wasl hospital, a tertiary level centers in Dubai. Analysis shows presence of membrane prolapse with infection causing rupture of membranes, to be the strongest predictor of poor outcome. Analysis also reveals a significant association between initial white blood cell count and perinatal outcome. This information is helpful in decision making and counseling patients regarding the likely outcome.How to cite this articleDeb P, Aftab N, Rangwala T.
