A cervical length (CL) assessment may predict preterm birth (PTB). This study aimed to analyze and compare the recommendations of guidelines on the role of CL in the prediction of PTB. There is no consensus regarding universal screening of asymptomatic women without a history of prior spontaneous PTB (sPTB), using CL. On the other hand, CL assessment is recommended in cases with a history of sPTB due to the high recurrence rate. Finally, there is discrepancy regarding CL assessment in asymptomatic women with multiple pregnancy. Although far from perfect, CL measurement remains the best available method to predict PTB.
