PRETERM BIRTH
________________
A newly developed and externally validated multivariable nomogram helps estimate individualized, time-dependent risk in singleton pregnancies with cervical length ≤25 mm — moving beyond cervical length alone.
🔑 Key predictors
• Prior preterm birth
• Cervical length
• Gestational age at diagnosis
📈 Strong performance across training and external validation cohorts
✔ Good discrimination (AUC up to 0.77)
✔ Excellent calibration
✔ Demonstrated clinical utility across risk thresholds
💡 Why it matters
This simple, practical tool supports personalized counseling and risk stratification — helping clinicians tailor management for patients at highest risk.
