To examine the natural history of cervical length shortening in women, who had experienced at least one prior spontaneous preterm birth at 17 + 0 – 33 + 6 weeks’ gestation. Analysis of pre-randomization data from the multicenter Vaginal Ultrasound Cerclage Trial. Serial cervical length was measured by vaginal sonography in 1014 high-risk women at 16 + 0 to 22 + 6 weeks. We determined the time (in weeks’ gestation) to cervical length shortening <25 mm, or censoring, either by entering the randomized cerclage trial or attaining 22 + 6 weeks’ gestation. The incidence of cervical length shortening and the time to shortening were compared for women whose earliest prior preterm birth was in the mid-trimester, defined as <24 weeks versus at weeks 24–33. Similar comparisons were done based on each patient’s most recent birth history. Time to cervical length shortening by survival analysis was significantly shorter (Hazard Ratio [HR] = 2.2, p<0.0001) and the relative risk (RR) of shortening significantly higher (RR = 1.8, p<0.0001) for women whose earliest prior spontaneous preterm birth was <24 weeks. A larger effect was observed for women whose most recent birth was <24 weeks (HR = 2.8, p<0.0001; RR = 2.1, p<0.0001). The observed hazard ratios remained significant after adjusting for confounders in a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. Women with a prior spontaneous preterm birth <24 weeks are at a higher risk of cervical shortening, and do so at a higher rate and at an earlier gestational age, than do women with a later preterm birth history.
