Filter by:The goal of this[ type of study: randomized controlled trial]is to compare Preeclampsia following Natural vs. Artificial Cycle in patients undergoing frozen embryo transfer. The main question[s] it aims to answer is • Does NC-FET decreases the incidence of preeclampsia in patients undergoing frozen embryo transfer as compared to AC-FET ? The main objective is to compare the proportion of preeclampsia in women with a viable pregnancy with natural cycle protocol to artificial cycle protocol when practicing frozen embryo transfer. Participants recruited will be divided into two ARM(1513 per arm). ARM 1 will undergo the Natural Cycle procedure of Embryo transfer, and ARM 2 will undergo the Artificial Cycle procedure of Embryo transfer. The primary outcome will be the proportion of preeclampsia. The duration of the study is around 2 year.
The target population for our study is healthy nulliparous pregnant women (first pregnancy) between the 12-16 week of pregnancy. If a subject is eligible, written consent will be obtained by person to person contact. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either daily L-citrulline supplementation or placebo.
The investigator measured the arterial stiffness using cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) test in patient with preeclampsia and normal pregnant women to evaluate the longitudinal change of CAVI and their predictors.
The purpose of this study is to 1. Identify a cut-off for the ratio of the serum proteins soluble FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase 1 (sFLT-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF) that identifies women will who develop preeclampsia with severe features within 2 weeks of testing (clinically positive) from those who do not develop preeclampsia with severe features within 2 weeks of testing (clinically negative) among preterm pregnant women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. And 2. To validate the cut-off the ratio of sFLT-1 and PlGF and to validate the performance of the automated assays used to find the cut-off. Test performance includes positive predictive value, negative predictive value, sensitivity, and specificity. Subjects will provide blood, urine, and saliva samples at the time of enrollment. Samples will be frozen for batch assessment of sFLT-1 and PlGF levels by automated assays. Clinicians, subjects, and researchers will be blinded to protein level assessment, therefore assay results will not affect clinical management.
Magnesium Sulphate is the drug of choice for prevention and treatment of seizures in preeclampsia and eclampsia. It is administered parenterally by intravenous (IV) and or intramuscular (IM) routes. The IM regimen requires repeated painful injections which may be a barrier to optimal utilization whereby, there is frequent omission of some doses or increased interval between maintenance doses and low patient acceptability of magnesium. The study plans to assess the acceptability and safety of Springfusor device in the administration of magnesium sulphate in preeclampsia and eclampsia.
Levels of blood pressure in adolescents with preeclampsia and eclampsia: Multicenter case-control study (Latin America). Maternities in Latin America: Two hospitals in Panama, one hospital in Mexico, one hospital in El Salvador, one hospital in Guatemala, two hospitals in Honduras, one hospital in Colombia, two hospitals in Peru and two hospitals in Bolivia. The objective is to evaluate the basal levels of blood pressure during pregnancy and determine if there is any increase that is associated with the development of preeclampsia and eclampsia without reaching the known values of 140/90 mm Hg. The sample is 1050: (350 Cases and 700 Controls).
Kenya is one of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa that still experience high maternal mortality. For instance, in 2008/09 maternal mortality ratio was estimated to be 488/100,000 live births. Direct obstetric complications such as puerperal sepsis, postpartum hemorrhage, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, obstructed labor and indirect causes including HIV, malaria and anemia in pregnancy are responsible for the majority of these cases. Just under 44% of births in Kenya are delivered under the supervision of a skilled birth attendant. The overall objective of this study is to determine the effect of provider type in the occurrence and management of serious childbirth related complications among postpartum women at the community level in Bungoma and Lugari Districts of Western Province, Kenya. The proposed study will employ a case control study design in which women with obstetric complication(s)will be cases and women without obstetric complications will be controls. Controls will be sampled concurrently with the cases. Each time a new case is diagnosed, a control is selected from the population at risk in the neighborhood at that point in time. The study population will consist of women aged 15-49 years with a delivery in the past 12 months. A woman who reports having experienced a birth-related complication will be recruited as a case while woman who reports having experienced no complication during child-birth will be recruited as a control.
