    Cervical insufficiency is a significant risk factor for preterm birth, characterized by painless cervical dilatation and membrane prolapse.

  • 2

    Cervical cerclage (CC) is utilized to prevent preterm delivery in women with cervical insufficiency, though it carries risks of complications.

  • 3

    Emergency CC can prolong gestational age and improve neonatal survival rates compared to expectant management.

  • 4

    Variability in defining preterm birth thresholds across studies may lead to selection bias and inconsistent outcomes.

  • 5

    The study aims to identify risk factors for preterm birth after CC and develop a nomogram for predicting postoperative fetal retention time.
