“…It was computed independent of universal cervical-length screening for several reasons. First, while the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists states that universal cervical-length screening is permissible, it is not recommended universally 35 and its cost-effectiveness is controversial 36,37 . In an era in which this debate is ongoing and many centers do not offer universal cervical-length screening, we chose to construct our model independent of this issue.…”

Within the baseline assumptions, transvaginal ultrasound screening for vasa previa appears to be most cost-effective when performed among IVF pregnancies. However, both IVF and ultrasound-indicated screening strategies fall within contemporary willingness-to-pay thresholds, suggesting that both strategies may be appropriate to apply in clinical practice.

“…Cahill et al showed that cervical screening at anomaly scan and subsequent progesterone therapy was the most effective practice. Jain et al concluded that until future trials demonstrate greater progesterone efficacy, and effectiveness studies confirm a benefit from screening and treatment, the cost‐effectiveness of universal cervical length screening in the USA remains questionable.…”

“…Nevertheless, several studies have now confirmed the feasibility of conducting population-based cervical screening programs 28, 34, 49, 50 and have concluded that the cost-effectiveness of such programs combined with progesterone therapy is favourable 49, 51– 54 , although they would clearly be improved if the effectiveness of interventions could be increased 55 .…”

Preterm birth (PTB) remains a major obstetric healthcare problem and a significant contributor to perinatal morbidity, mortality, and long-term disability. Over the past few decades, the perinatal outcomes of preterm neonates have improved markedly through research and advances in neonatal care, whereas rates of spontaneous PTB have essentially remained static. However, research into causal pathways and new diagnostic and treatment modalities is now bearing fruit and translational initiatives are beginning to impact upon PTB rates. Successful PTB prevention requires a multifaceted approach, combining public health and educational programs, lifestyle modification, access to/optimisation of obstetric healthcare, effective prediction and diagnostic modalities, and the application of effective, targeted interventions. Progress has been made in some of these areas, although there remain areas of controversy and uncertainty. Attention is now being directed to areas where greater gains can be achieved. In this mini-review, we will briefly and selectively review a range of PTB prevention strategies and initiatives where progress has been made and where exciting opportunities await exploitation, evaluation, and implementation.
