Introduction. The cervical length is a predictor of premature delivery or abortion. In order to detect the risks of such complications, it is necessary to establish the factors affecting the length of the cervix. Material and methods. A transversal prospective study was carried out in a sample of 579 pregnant women with low risk, singleton pregnancies of various gestational ages. Cervical length was measured by transvaginal ultrasound as part of routine pregnancy monitoring. At the same time, data on previous first-trimester or mid-trimester abortions, as well as on premature deliveries and term deliveries, were collected and taken into consideration. Results. The cervical length in primiparous women was not statistically significantly longer than in women with a previous pregnancy, except during the second trimester, (primiparous women: 33.8 mm. women with a previous pregnancy: 35.8 mm). Bearing in mind the empirical facts that the cervix in primiparous women. since intact, is significantly longer, the above mentioned findings cannot be easily explained. The cervix in women with a previous vaginal delivery was statistically significantly longer (35.6 mm) than in women with no vaginal delivery (34.09) (p=0.0l 1). In women with previous abortions of any kind, the cervical length was 34.2 mm. The cervical length in women without previous abortions was 34. 7 mm, and there were no significant differences. Moreover, no statistically significant differences were established in women with or without previous abortions, regardless of the type. Conclusion. Taking into consideration the data from previous obstetric histories, the results of our study indicate that cervices of women. .

Background: Pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) is defined as the absence of intrauterine or extrauterine sac and Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin levels (β-HCG) above the discriminatory zone of 1500 mIU/ml. It should be noted that PUL is not always an ectopic; however, by measuring the trends of serum β-HCG, we can determine the outcome of a PUL. Objective: This study aims to identify the various trends β-HCG levels in early pregnancy and evaluate the role of β-HCG in the management strategy. Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of pregnant women suspected with early pregnancy. Cases were classified as having a pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) by transvaginal ultrasound and ß-HCG greater than 1000 mIU/ml. Expectant management was done until there was a definite outcome. All the collected data were analyzed by employing the chi-square test using SPSS version 20. Results: Among 1200 women who had early first trimester scans, 70 women who fulfilled our criteria of PUL and ß-HCG > 1000 mIU/ml were recruited in this study. In our study, the mean age of the participants was 30±5.6yrs, and the overall mean serum ß-HCG was 3030±522 mIU/ml. The most common outcome observed was an ectopic pregnancy, 47% in our study. We also found the rate of failing pregnancy was 27%, and that of intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) was 25%. Overall, in PUL patients diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, 9% behaved like IUP, and 4% had an atypical trend in their ß-HCG. Those who had an IUP, 11% had a suboptimal increase in ß-HCG. Conclusion: PUL rate in our unit was 6%. Majority of the outcome of PUL was ectopic in our study. Every case of PUL should be managed based on the initial ß-HCG values, clinical assessments and upon the consent of the patient.
