Filter by:Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women in the United States, and women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy have a 2-fold higher risk for cardiovascular disease later in life compared to women with uncomplicated pregnancies. This research investigates a patient-centered intervention during the postpartum period to promote engagement in cardiovascular preventive care.
The aim of the project is to assess the association between exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) via drinking water in pregnancy and birth outcomes (i.e. growth retardation, premature birth, and congenital developmental defects) and maternal morbidity (gestational hypertension, diabetes and preeclampsia) in a prospective population-wide register study.
The goal of this study is to assess the effect of an electronic health record (EHR) clinical decision support tool, also known as a best practice alert (BPA), on healthcare provider recommendations for low dose aspirin use in a high-risk pregnant patient population. The investigators hypothesize that the implementation of the EHR BPA tool will increase the healthcare provider's recommendation for low dose aspirin compared to current standard care.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability of placental angiogenesis markers to predict the risk of PE in pregnancy in women with primary APS. To construct reference intervals of placental angiogenesis markers specific to women affected by primary APS in pregnancy by measuring the levels of sFlt-1and PlGF in serum maternal serum and their sFlt-1/PlGF ratio during the trimesters of gestation (I TM, II TM and III TM). For this aim the study will involve recruiting two groups of subjects, one will be cases and one will be controls.
High-risk pregnancies often require long-term hospitalization or outpatient maternal and/or fetal monitoring, placing a burden on patients, hospital resources and society. The demand for intensified pregnancy surveillance and interventions is increasing, due to the increased prevalence of risk factors like obesity and advanced maternal age, as well as altered guidelines resulting in increasing labor induction rates.The main aims of the HOME study (Home monitoring of pregnancies at risk) are to assess if home monitoring of selected high-risk pregnancies for maternal and fetal wellbeing is feasible, safe (in a clinical trial), cost-efficient, and simultaneously empowers the users.
The purpose of this study is to test a new approach to blood pressure management in postpartum preeclampsia. There will be two groups of patients in this early stage single center trial. Both groups of study participants (observational and interventional) will be treated with standard blood pressure medications while undergoing continuous non-invasive blood pressure and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring for 24 hours. The interventional group will have personalized blood pressure targets according to results of NIRS monitoring which will be updated in real time.
This case-control study aims to investigate the association between B vitamins and gestational hypertension or preeclampsia.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of a clinical screening strategy and genomic analysis of the factors involved in Placental Dysfunction (Preeclampsia and IUGR) in women of advanced maternal age undergoing assisted reproduction techniques (ART), specifically, in vitro fertilization (IVF) and oocyte donation.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (including preeclampsia) are among the leading causes of pregnancy complications and maternal deaths worldwide. They also increase the risks to the babies. Numerous interventions have been suggested in order to reduce the rate of preeclampsia. Low-dose aspirin is the most beneficial prophylactic approach in this regard. Nevertheless, aspirin failure is not uncommon. The genetic, laboratory, and clinical factors associated with low-dose aspirin failure in the prevention of preeclampsia are largely unknown. The presence of a genetic variant in PAR4 receptor expressed on platelets, is associated with increased platelet function and possibly with aspirin failure.
The Achieve Trial is a randomized clinical trial to test whether lowering blood pressure to less than 140/90 mmHg in women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy will prolong pregnancy.
