Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of Newborns With a Birth Platelet Count > 50,000/uL this uses the birth platelet count of the fetuses from the study when they are born 32-40 weeks (the endpoint is the birth which is not at the same number of weeks for all of the babies. This is why the weeks are not listed specifically eg week 40
Secondary Intracranial Hemorrhage: Number Occurring in Fetuses and Newborns of Mothers in Study number of ICH assessed by fetal and neonatal ultrasound with MRI back up most commonly in utero so range from 20-40 weeks fo gestation time of ICH (range 20-40 wks)
Secondary Number of Fetal Platelet Counts > 50,000/uL Number of Fetal Platelet Counts > 50,000/uL Among Those Who Underwent Fetal Blood Sampling and Had a Fetal Platelet Count Determined 32 +/- 2 weeks
