Abstract
Background: In the United States, there has been a 21% increase in the occurrence of premature births within the last two decades. These children are also more likely to require lifelong therapies, assistive technologies, mobility devices, and more supportive services throughout their time in school. Globally, preterm births, and their preventions, have become a topic of interest. One method that has had significant success rates is placing a cerclage to prevent cervical dilation; while simultaneously treating prophylactically for early delivery.
Objectives: The purpose of this integrative literature review was to focus on which placement of cerclages, transabdominal or transvaginal, is more beneficial in decreasing premature births.
