Abstract

Currently, preterm labor is still a major challenge for medical professionals. Although studies of cervical length measurement and Actim Partus testing have contributed to a better understanding of the pathways leading to preterm birth, clinical practice remains uncertain and idiosyncratic. How can methods to predict preterm birth be useful in clinical care? Combining methods to predict preterm birth can identify a group of women who receive treatment to prevent or reduce the likelihood of preterm birth with the aim of reducing the burden on families and society? This article evaluates the predictive value and accuracy of the Actim Partus test combined with cervical length measurement for preterm birth in clinical practice. The combination of two main methods, measuring cervical length and Actim Partus test, has helped provide important information to make decisions on diagnosing true labor and excluding false labor. This helps medical professionals provide timely and appropriate intervention to minimize complications of preterm fetal development
