Resumo

Introdução: Parto prematuro é todo parto ocorrido antes das 37 semanas de gestação. Colo do útero curto é o comprimento cervical < 25mm antes das 24 semanas de gestação. O presente estudo objetivou analisar retrospectivamente em uma revisão literária a incidência de parto prematuro em pacientes com diagnóstico de colo do útero curto devido a alta prevalência nas maternidades mundiais, associado ao aumento da mortalidade e pior prognóstico perinatal. Método: Estudo de revisão bibliográfica, com buscas nas plataformas PubMed e Scielo, publicados nos últimos 10 anos. Os artigos selecionados passaram por critérios de inclusão e exclusão e responderam à pergunta norteadora. Resultados e Discussão Comprimento cervical medido por ultrassonografia transvaginal é o parâmetro indicado para identificar gestantes com colo do útero curto. Pacientes com comprimento cervical < 15mm entre 14 e 24 semanas de idade gestacional apresentam risco aumentado em 50% de evoluir para parto prematuro. Estudos diferem nas taxas de parto prematuro em pacientes com encurtamento cervical (4,9% a 42%), tendo como explicação que a maior parte dos dados disponíveis se baseiam em gestantes de alto risco para prematuridade. Todos os estudos aqui relatados concordam no quesito que quanto menor a medida do colo uterino entre 14 e 24 semanas incompletas de idade gestacional, maior o risco de evoluir com parto prematuro. Conclusão: O encurtamento cervical está diretamente relacionado a desfechos desfavoráveis nas gestações. Protocolos orientando rastreamento, acompanhamento e medidas terapêuticas são encorajados visando redução da problemática mundial.
