Clinical Trial Summary

To demonstrate if indomethacin associated to conventional treatment for preterm labor is useful to delay delivery and to improve neonatal morbimortality in women with preterm labor with high risk of intraamniotic inflammation


Description:

Randomised patients would be assigned to receive indomethacin either placebo oral use(50 mg every 6 hours during 5 days) to evaluate the efficacy of indomethacin as complementary treatment to increase the gestational age at delivery in women admitted with preterm labor and intact membranes with high risk of intraamniotic inflammation, defined as a gestational age at admission less than 28.0 weeks or those women from 28-32.0 weeks with a sonographic cervical length less than 15 mm

Secondary Latency from admission to delivery Latency from admission to delivery will be calculated between initial admission and delivery (before 42 weeks of gestation) No
Secondary IL-6 levels in amniotic fluid and umbilical cord blood the investigators will determine the level of IL-6 in different samples delivery (maximum 42 weeks of gestational age) No
Secondary Number of emergency visits Number of visits to emergency area will be registered between initial admission and delivery (before 42 weeks of gestation) No
Secondary Neonatal morbidity neonatal morbidity will be registered:
admission to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
