Vaginal progesterone for the prevention of recurrent spontaneous preterm birth

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

After the United States Food and Drug Administration pulled 17-alpha hydroxyprogesterone caproate from the market for its use in prevention of recurrent spontaneous preterm birth, national societies have had mixed recommendations regarding the management of patients with a singleton pregnancy and previous spontaneous preterm birth. Herein we highlight the randomized trial data and translational evidence supporting the use of vaginal progesterone for prevention of recurrent spontaneous preterm birth in singleton pregnancies. Prophylactic vaginal progesterone starting at 16 weeks and 0 days every night should be offered to patients with singletons and previous singleton spontaneous preterm birth regardless of cervical length, and continued along with placement of cerclage if a transvaginal ultrasound cervical length ≤25 mm is detected at <24 weeks.
