Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to determine: 1. The association between Obstetric anesthesia events at delivery (such as mode of anesthesia, drugs given, desaturation and hypotension) on pediatric neurodevelopmental and behavioural outcomes. 2. Mode of delivery on pediatric neurodevelopmental and behavioural outcomes. 3. Effect of labour epidural analgesia on neurodevelopmental and behavioural outcomes. 4. To determine if these would differ between very preterm, moderate preterm, late preterm and term infants. The study team hypothesise that: 1. Adverse maternal events during anesthesia and labor analgesia may be associated with poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants. 2. Delivery via a lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) combined with a general anesthetic during delivery may be associated with adverse pediatric neurodevelopmental and behavioural outcomes. 3. The use of labour epidural analgesia is associated with poorer neurodevelopmental and behavioural outcomes. 4. These differences may be more pronounced in preterm infants as compared to term infants.


Clinical Trial Description

The relationship between the mode of delivery, type of anesthesia received, maternal anesthetic events at delivery and its effects on pediatric neurodevelopment and behavioral outcomes remains poorly defined with previous work showing conflicting results. Furthermore, previous studies have failed to take into account the potential effect of other antepartum anesthetic events such as the type of anesthesia, hypotension or desaturation. Furthermore, majority have failed to stratify between the subsets of premature infants, who may inherently be more susceptible to neurodevelopmental insult. The GUSTO study is well-placed to provide unique insight with regards to these domains, due to its comprehensive, sensitive and specific follow-up of pediatric neurocognitive development and in-depth maternal anesthetic delivery data. Hence, previously collected, existing data from the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) cohort study will be utilized for this study. This will be supplemented by additional maternal anesthetic and delivery data which the investigators aim to collect via a retrospective chart review. ;
