Filter by:A french study published in 2015 (DAME) showed a decrease of shoulder dystocia and an increase of spontaneous vaginal delivery when the non insulin-treated diabetes patients with large-for-date fetus were induced. This new protocole was introduced in Montpellier University Hospital delivery room. The aim of this study is to evaluate the protocole in Montpellier hospital and to compare our results with the DAME results.
5D and 2D ultrasounds will be done for pregnant women with macrosomic fetuses to determine estimated fetal weight using hadlock formula. The accuracy of fetal weight obtained by ultrasound will be compared to actual birth weight.
The equipoise whether to Induce pregnant women with suspected large for gestational babies or suspected macrosomia babies at term pregnancy is not solved yet. Only 2 relatively small studies were conducted to answer this clinically important question. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled, multi-center study large enough to confirm or refute our assumption that induction of labor at term reduces the shoulder dystocia prevalence significantly compared to expectant management.
The investigators are developing a research platform capable of improving children's health through the generation of knowledge from analysis of routinely collected data from within and outside the health service. The investigators are using the data that are routinely collected in Wales to answer specific questions about child health and well-being, with the aim of informing policy and practice in Wales, whilst also being internationally relevant. Routinely collected datasets are publicly funded, and have already been incorporated into the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage databank. The investigators are combining these datasets on children from health and social care to establish an anonymised Wales wide Electronic Cohort for Children (WECC). WECC will serve as the platform for future work in translating information into child population health policy. There are 35,000 births in Wales per year, and data are available for the previous ten years. Thus, WECC will be sufficiently powered to answer important social, economic and health policy questions. WECC will also act as a demonstration project which would inform the development of e-cohorts to support translational research across the life course and disease spectrum.
