View clinical trials related to Macrosomia, Fetal.
Filter by:Macrosomia is associated with increased risks for both the mother and the baby, including complications during delivery, injuries, and even death. The accurate diagnosis of macrosomia is often difficult before birth. There are a number of factors that can increase the risk of macrosomia, such as maternal obesity, diabetes, and excessive weight gain during pregnancy. There are also a number of different techniques that can be used to try to predict macrosomia, but none of them are perfect. The aim of this study is to evaluate sensitivity of measuring fetal clavicle length in third trimester compared with biacromial diameter and Hadlock formula IV for prediction of fetal macrosomia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a graphic based education tool on patient knowledge of macrosomia through the use of a survey and to evaluate knowledge at 1-2 weeks after initial review of the education tool.
The rising prevalence fof fetal macrosomia represents a significant challenge in obstetrics, affecting both maternal and neonatal outcomes. Such challenges include complications like perineal tears and postpartum hemorrhage. Concurrently, the frequency of labor induction practices on the rise, yet the implications for neonatal weight are inadequately understood. To address this gap, our study aims to evaluate the association between labor induction and neontal birth weight through a population-based cohort study. The findings have the potential to inform more accurate clinical guidelines, thereby enhancing the quality of maternity care.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases the risk of macrosomia and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Screening strategies are debated: universal vs. selective, and macrosomia may begin before the time of screening, suggesting that glycation markers may have an interest. The objective of this trail is to compare novel markers: skin autofluorescence and glycated albumin, to HbA1c (reference) as predictors of GDM, macrosomia and other adverse outcomes, in pregnant women.
A single center, randomized controlled trial was conducted to investigate whether individualized exercise guidance was more effective in improving pregnancy outcomes in normal pregnant women. What's more, the trial was also conducted to find out whether there is a mediating effect between prenatal exercise and pregnancy outcomes.
In the current work, we aim to perform a prospective study that will investigate the relationship between maternal obesity (BMI >30 kg/m2) and morbid obesity (BMI >35 kg/m2) with a late GDM diagnosis (>32 weeks), with an emphasis on obstetric and neonatal outcomes.
To determine and evaluate the diagnostic performance of Doppler sonography of umbilical artery (UA), fetal middle cereberal artery (MCA), ductus venosus (VD) and umbilical vein (UV) for prediction of adverse perinatal outcome among diabetic pregnant women.
This study is a randomized, controlled, observational study. 150 nulliparous women with estimated fetal weight ≥3500g at 39-40 weeks of gestation will be enrolled as subjects in the two groups is 1:1. In the experimental group, vaginal examination will be performed at 39 to 40 weeks to assess cervical conditions. If the bishop score <6, the balloon catheter combined with oxytocin induction will be planned at 40 weeks ±3 days. In the control group, one week to 41 weeks ±3 days will be expected. Vaginal examination will be performed again to evaluate cervical conditions. If the bishop score <6 points, and balloon catheter combined with oxytocin induction will be performed. After 96h, their final delivery mode will be recorded. In the following 42 days postpartum, their complications and the neonatal outcome will be followed up.
Large for gestational age infants (LGA) have increased risks of adverse short-term perinatal outcomes. This study aims to develop a multivariable prediction model for the risk of giving birth to a LGA baby, by using biochemical, biophysical, anamnestic, and clinical maternal characteristics available at first trimester. This prospective study includes all singleton pregnancies attending the first trimester aneuploidy screening at the Obstetric Unit of the University Hospital of Modena, in Northern Italy.
Tahneek is an Arabic word which means putting something sweet such as dates, in the infant's mouth after the birth. Neonatal hypoglycemia is common in the first few days after birth. Up to 15 % of normal newborn babies will have low blood glucose concentrations. It has been demonstrated that treatment of neonatal hypoglycemia with oral dextrose gel was more effective than feeding alone in reversing the hypoglycemia, and also reduced the rate of NICU admission. investigators study is using dates to asses its effect on hypoglycemia in infants at risk.
