About this trial

This study prospectively evaluates whether the performance of an already-developed artificial intelligence (AI) model for predicting spontaneous preterm birth changes when cervical ultrasound images are obtained using different ultrasound image settings.

The primary research question is whether the AI model performs differently across images acquired with different imaging settings.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Pregnant women aged ≥18 years

Disqualifiers

Absence of transvaginal cervical assessment at the second-trimester scan

Missing follow-up data on pregnancy outcome (gestational age at delivery)

Inadequate image quality or missing required cervical ultrasound image
