5. A 38-year-old G1 undergoes a routine sonogram to survey fetal anatomy at 21 weeks' gestation. The cervical changes as shown below are found. She denies any complaints, including contractions. On sterile speculum exam she is noted to be dilated 1-2 cm with bulging membranes just past the level of the external os. She undergoes 24 hours of observation on labor and delivery without any change. The patient elects to proceed with cerclage placement. What is the most appropriate statement regarding her probable outcome?

On sterile speculum exam she is noted to be dilated 1-2 cm with bulging membranes just past the level of the external os. She undergoes 24 hours of observation on labor and delivery without any change. The patient elects to proceed with cerclage placement. What is the most appropriate statement regarding her probable outcome? OA. There is a 20% risk of delivery prior to term. OB. There is a 33% risk of delivery prior to 35 weeks' gestation. C. There is a 50% risk of delivery prior to 36 weeks' gestation. OD. There is at least a 50% risk of delivery prior to 28 weeks' gestation. *
