To examine if the uterocervical angle (UCA) can be used to predict preterm delivery in women with painful and regular uterine contractions and a cervical length of 25mmor less. Retrospective study at the perinatal unit of the University Hospital of Tuebingen, Germany. Women with singleton gestation and preterm contractions between 24 + 0 and 33 + 6weeks' gestation were included. For the UCA measurement, a line is placed from the internal os to the external os irrespective of whether the cervix is straight or curved. A second line is drawn to delineate the lower uterine segment. The angle between the two lines is the UCA measurement. The measurements were taken on stored images from our database. The study consisted of 213 singleton pregnancies. At the time of UCA measurement, median maternal and gestational age was 31.4years and 29.7weeks' gestation. Median gestational age at delivery was 35.3weeks and the corresponding birth weight 2480g, respectively. The UCA measurement in women who delivered within 2days, between 3-7days and after 7days was not helpful to distinguish between these three groups [median UCA measurements 108.5°, 108.0° and 107.3° (Kruskal-Wallis test p = 0.576)]. Uni- and multivariate logistic multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the delivery within 2days was only dependent on the gestational age and the cervical length at the time of presentation. The measurement of UCA is not useful in predicting preterm birth in the subsequent 7 days after an episode of preterm contractions.
