View clinical trials related to Pre-eclampsia.
Filter by:This proposal describes a single centre retrospective cross-sectional study which will address the need to further develop and test statistical risk prediction models for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes in low-resource settings; this will be the first such research to be carried out in Zimbabwe.
Twin pregnancies are associated with increased risk of perinatal adverse outcomes , including preeclampsia , fetal growth restriction , preterm premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth. Low-dose aspirin was recommend by American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) during pregnancy. In this trial, the investigators suppose that aspirin used in twin-pregnancies could improve adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Q MOLI is an alongside qualitative study, for the 'Misoprostol or Oxytocin for Labour Induction' (MOLI) pragmatic, open-label, randomised controlled trial, comparing a misoprostol/misoprostol regime vs the standard misoprostol/oxytocin induction of labour regime.1000 patients with hypertensive disease in pregnancy will be recruited, over 24 months, in Nagpur, India.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of education and counseling program on healthy lifestyle behaviors, self-efficacy and maternal/neonatal consequences of pregnant women with risk of preeclampsia.
To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of this screening program in preventing pre-eclampsia.
Severe preeclampsia is associated with an elevation in intracranial pressure (ICP). Optic nerve sheath diameter is a non-invasive surrogate of invasive ICP measurement. This study targets to evaluate the ICP in patients with or without preeclampsia.
The aim of this pilot intervention study is to develop and test a tailored web-based lifestyle modification program for women with recent preeclampsia or gestational diabetes. Women will start the study 3-15 months postpartum. After obtaining written informed consent and confirmation of eligibility criteria, eligible women will be included in the pilot study using a single arm study design (all women will be assigned to the lifestyle intervention program). Participants will be provided access to a web-based lifestyle intervention program with personalized coaching from a registered dietician.
The FACT Biomarker Subgroup Analysis is a pilot study of mothers who participated in the Folic Acid Clinical Trial (FACT, NCT01355159). This subgroup analysis aims to determine the effect of high-dose folic acid supplementation in pregnancy on maternal folate status and subsequent impact on risk for pre-eclampsia.
A randomized non-inferiority trial of women with preeclampsia with severe features to determine if the addition of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is inferior or non-inferior to standard analgesic bundles in their impact on postpartum hypertension.
The core of this study is a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) of antenatal clinics which are located in four districts in Tanzania. We are conducting an effectiveness (pragmatic) rather than an efficacy (explanatory) trial because we are looking to measure the degree of benefit under 'real world' conditions. Although pragmatic and carried out in real world conditions, the proposed size and scope of the trial will allow us to achieve a robust evaluation of outcomes and determine the effectiveness of our intervention. A cluster design is the most appropriate type of methodology (rather than individual randomization by pregnant woman) as the intervention can be delivered to the entire health facility (of those facilities in the intervention group). The intervention is to implement an mHealth strategy to improve detection and management of PE (pre-eclampsia). This study is a multi-level, mixed-methods design that includes a cluster-randomized controlled trial (RCT) of antenatal clinics in rural Tanzania. Thirty health facilities have been randomized to control facilities and thirty facilities have been randomized to intervention clinics. All randomized clinics have upgraded antenatal care (ANC) and skilled birth attendants present. Nurses in the intervention clinics in this cluster arm will receive mHealth-based education in detection and management of PE and will be instructed and encouraged to follow a guideline-driven approach supported by mHealth (educational modules that provide decision support and reminders through the facility smartphone/tablet). At all antenatal visits, pregnant women will have their blood pressures measured and urine assessed for proteinuria, and, the result will be automatically sent by SMS (short message service) with a unique patient identifier to a central site for monitoring and tracking. Community Health Workers (CHWs) linked to the facility site and local communities will be instructed on which women to have follow-up visits within their communities. For all those women found to be at risk for PE (as well as other high risk maternal conditions), an SMS will be sent to the CHW, and, the nurses at the ANC recommending timely follow-up and protocol steps for management at that facility or for transfer for further monitoring and management at a higher-level facility. The nurses participating in the study have been drawn from the health facilities themselves, in both control and intervention arms. Quantitative data will be collected on an ongoing basis through the mobile platform. Women are eligible for recruitment between 15 weeks and 36 weeks gestation.
