Filter by:With the implementation of China's two-child policy and a marked increase in adverse pregnancy outcomes, leveraging electronic health records (EHR) to enhance maternal and child healthcare and outcomes in China has emerged as a novel strategy to tackle this pivotal demographic and health challenge. Given the mature construction of the information platform and the well-established maternal and child health service system in Ningbo, this study utilized the Ningbo Maternal and Child Health Electronic Monitoring Information Management System and the Ningbo Regional Health Information Platform to conduct the Ningbo maternity-child linked database study (MATCHLESS), which involved over 300,000 mother-child pairs in China. MATCHLESS not only allows for longitudinal follow-up of pregnant women and their offspring but also expands its scope from prenatal exposure to long-term outcomes through data linkage. The longitudinal scope of MATCHLESS facilitates the elucidation of the relationship and etiological significance of early-life exposures and adverse pregnancy outcomes. It also permits the exploration of the health trajectory of women and children over their life-course. During the past 5 years (October 2016 to December 2021), a substantial amount of maternal and child health data has been recorded in MATCHLESS, including socio-demographics, health care services and medications, as well as clinical outcome events. Additionally, it contains longitudinal measurements on risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes, which provides a robust foundation for future real-world studies of dynamic predictive models. This study was approved by the Ethics Review Committee of the Ningbo University Health Science Center. Considering the safety, privacy, and confidentiality concerns surrounding the storage and processing of personal EHR data, the responsibility for data storage and management is undertaken by the Health Commission of Ningbo. Researchers are required to submit applications to the local health department, and all studies undergo ethical review and research registration procedures to access EHR data for health research purposes.
The hypothesis of this trial is that the absence of systematic bladder catheterization in patients performing spontaneous urination in the hour preceding the planned cesarean section under spinal anesthesia would not lead to more bladder heterocatheterization for postpartum urinary retention (RUPP) in the 24 hours post-cesarean section than systematic intraoperative bladder catheterization up to 2 hours post-surgery.
The main goal of this study is to validate the accuracy of the body position detection by non-invasive wearable monitors (Skiin garments, Myant Medical Corp) during sleep in pregnant participants. This is a first step towards examining the association between maternal sleep position and fetal growth.
The objective of this observational study is to identify maternal and fetal characteristics that impact image quality in prenatal ultrasonography. The investigators have assembled a retrospective cohort of 198 patients, each contributing three ultrasound images taken between 18 and 18 weeks and 6 days of gestation. For each image, the investigators assess the quality of two distinct elements as well as the overall image through both subjective and objective evaluations. The primary questions the study seeks to address are: What maternal and fetal characteristics influence image quality in prenatal ultrasonography?
The study was conducted as a prospective, randomized controlled study to determine the effect of Mindfulness-Based Childbirth Education on psychosocial outcomes in pregnant women. Pregnant women applied to Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pregnancy Polyclinic and Faculty Member Polyclinic between 15.09.2021-28.06.2022. A total of 82 pregnant women were included in the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received Mindfulness-Based Childbirth Education for 8 weeks and the control group received Information-Based Childbirth Education for 4 weeks. Evaluation was performed in both groups before and after the training and at the end of the 4th postpartum week. The data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, Perceived Stress Scale, Edinburg Postpartum Depression Scale, Birth Self-Efficacy Scale and City Birth Trauma Scale.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of individual training and pregnancy follow-up given to pregnant women in the earthquake zone in their living spaces on prenatal comfort, distress, risk perception and birth anxiety. In the randomized controlled experimental study, data will be obtained using the Personal Information Form, Pregnant Observations and Birth Results, Prenatal Comfort Scale, Prenatal Distress Scale, Pregnancy Risk Perception Scale, Oxford Birth Anxiety Scale.
There is a strong correlation between sleep disturbance and indications of stress, anxiety, and depression. However, in Egypt no research has looked into how better sleep for expectant mothers might be achieved by inexpensive, pleasurable, non-invasive music listening. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate how music listening affects pregnant women's psychological status, and sleep quality.
Cord blood, as an important alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells, can be used to reconstruct bone marrow hematopoietic and immune function, and is an effective means to treat children with blood diseases. However, at present, the collection rate of cord blood is not high in our country, only the mother have the right to decide whether or not. At the same time, domestic studies on cord blood collection are still very limited, for the lack of effective programs and policies, which can not provide help to improve the collection level of cord blood. Therefore, in order to improve the rate of umbilical cord blood collection, it is particularly necessary to build tools to help pregnant women decide whether to retain cord blood. This topic will investigate and analyze the cognition and retention intention of pregnant women for umbilical cord blood collection. At the same time, the related process of pregnant women for umbilical cord blood retention will be deeply explored. Based on the results of quantitative and qualitative investigation, Internet technology will be used to build a network platform for pregnant women for umbilical cord blood storage decision AIDS, and the effectiveness of this tool will be evaluated. To provide theoretical basis for clinical medical workers and umbilical cord blood bank staff to establish the decision plan of cord blood storage.
The goal of this cohort study is to investigate the underlying risk factors to develop metabolic syndrome (MetS) during pregnancy, and the associations of MetS and its indicators with birth outcomes in southwest Ethiopia. The study population consists of low-risk pregnant ladies in their first antenatal care visit (ANC), from Jimma Medical center. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: i) How do MetS components progress during pregnancy, and what are the underlying risk factors? ii) What is the association between MetS components during early- and late pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes? iii) What is the knowledge, attitude and practices of women toward dietary habits, food taboos, and cultural beliefs during pregnancy? The study population consists of low-risk pregnant ladies in their first trimester (<15 weeks of pregnancy) in their first antenatal care visit (ANC) who will be followed up until one-month postpartum. Enrolled women will be assessed four times: at enrolment ≤15 weeks of pregnancy, mid-pregnancy (at 24 weeks), and late pregnancy (at 36 weeks), and within two weeks post-partum for: 1. Sociodemographic data 2. Dietary intake 3. Biochemical analyses 4. Maternal anthropometry: 5. Body composition in a subsample. 6. Knowledge, attitudes and practices of dietary practices during pregnancy 7. Pregnancy and birth outcomes: During the final visit, new born babies will be assessed for Apgar score, weight, length, and head circumference. The mother will be examined for general health and mode of delivery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a behavioral intervention in pregnant women who identify as Black and live in Central Brooklyn. The main question it aims to answer is whether the WeCAB intervention leads to a net improvement in utilization of postpartum care compared to those receiving usual care. The WeCAB group will have a dedicated WeCAB community health worker who will be trained in digital care navigation. Researchers will compare the WeCAB group versus the group receiving usual care to see if the patients randomized to WeCAB will have higher rates of early post-partum care compared to patients in the control group.
