macrophage- colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in pregnant women
with past history of preterm birth (PTB) underwent prophylactic
cervical cerclage (CC), or vaginal progesterone (VP) or both.
Patients & Methods: Baseline TVU was performed for estimation of
cervical length (CL) and women had CL >25 were considered as
Control group and women had CL25 mm and 169 women had
