Filter by:This study was conducted to analyze the role of TSH level and TPOAb status in early pregnancy and use this information in assessment of the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus at different weeks of gestation when the FT4 level is normal.
The Sanofi Pasteur Fluzone Intradermal Quadrivalent vaccine (Fluzone QIV-ID) Pregnancy Registry will be a prospectively recruited pregnancy surveillance program designed to collect to collect and analyze information on vaccine exposures, pregnancy outcomes, and fetal and offspring outcomes on pregnant women exposed to Fluzone QIV-ID vaccine.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate effects of intravenous clonidine in acute and chronic post-cesarean pain, possible adverse effects over mother-newborn pair, in comparison to intrathecal adjuvant clonidine and placebo.
This study evaluates the use of the STOPBANG questionnaire to predict whether a pregnant woman with class III obesity has obstructive sleep apnoea. All participants will have a STOPBANG score and modified STOPBANG score (substituting Epworth score > 10 with the tired item) calculated and then be tested with overnight pulse oximetry to see if they meet ODI criteria for obstructive sleep apnoea.
The purpose of the study is to test feasibility and acceptability of a lottery to help women in Cape Town, South Africa to continue using long-acting reversible contraceptives to avoid unintended pregnancies, and to also use condoms to reduce sexually transmitted infections including HIV.
Clinics will be randomized to the use of the care pathway for obese pregnant women or standard care. Women who are (1) up to 20 weeks + 6 days gestation into their pregnancy, (2) are carrying one baby (not twins) that is healthy (no life threatening anomalies) and (3) have a Body Mass Index ≥ 30 kg/m², will be included. Data will be obtained from the Ministry of Health's Antenatal Records, charts, and for those in the intervention group, the care path (filled out by the practitioners - the participants' obstetrician, midwife, or family doctor). At the end of the study, practitioners will complete a survey, participate in structured interviews to understand barriers, facilitators, and motivators of using the care path. Primary Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of implementing and testing a clinical care pathway for obese pregnant women in a pilot cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) Secondary Objectives: To obtain pilot data on A) process outcomes (steps of the pathway, e.g. what % of obese women receive a screen for diabetes) B) clinical outcomes (e.g. what % of obese women receive a diagnosis of diabetes), C) provider outcomes (e.g. Is the intervention acceptable, feasible & efficient? Barriers & facilitators to use, effectiveness? [Structured interviews])
Randomized comparison of different cardiotoxicity of carbetocin and oxytocin.
Primary Endpoint: Quantify the hemodynamic changes in preeclampsia using the non-invasive Nexfin device. Secondary Endpoint: Determine if measurable hemodynamic changes are statistically correlated with B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels.
The study design is a prospective, single institution, randomized control trial in which the introduction of a birth plan is the intervention and a comparison of the rate of Caesarean sections between participants in the control group (no birth plan) and the experimental group (birth plan) is the primary outcome.
With an efficient epidural analgesia the physiological effects of pain are disabled during labor. Pain may cause an increase of minute volume, oxygen consumption and a decrease of paCO2 (Arterial CO2 pressure). The study will evaluate the lung function before and after labor with and without epidural analgesia. With more efficient breathing, the occurence of atelectasis should be reduced; this effect will be investigated in these settings for the first time with the electrical impedance tomography, which is a completely non-invasive measure.
