Filter by:Background: Tobacco use during pregnancy is one of the most modifiable causes of morbidity and mortality for both pregnant women and their fetus. Despite the fact that smoking among pregnant has decreased in recent years, smoking continues to be a major public health problem. Hypothesis / Research question: The use of new technologies such as applications (apps) for mobile devices designed with a gamification strategy (understood as an incentive through play) could help women to quit smoking during pregnancy and in the long term. A structured App-based intervention using gamification adapted to pregnant women will decrease smoking prevalence in this population. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention against tobacco in pregnant women based on an app for tobacco abstinence. Specific objectives: 1) To determine the effectiveness of the intervention on smoking cessation during pregnancy, 2) Determine the effectiveness of the intervention in in the long term and 3) To determine the impact of the intervention to reduce smoking in pregnant women who continue smoking. Design: Randomized, multicentre community intervention trial Setting: Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Services of the Camp de Tarragona and Central Catalonia Primary Care Centres. Intervention: the participants will have the usual clinical practice intervention and the intervention group (IG) will also have access to an app based on gamification, verified by coximetry during the follow-up, and with a cotinine test at the end. Analysis: of groups "by intention to treat", abstinence rates will be compared and the determining factors will be evaluated using multivariate statistics. Expected results: smoking cessation in the IG will be > 5%, compared to normal practice. Applicability and Relevance: It promotes activities aimed to reduce tobacco consumption in the general population, and especially in women, in order to decrease comorbidity associated with long-term smoking, which will lead to a reduction in tobacco-related diseases in the whole population.
Determine the effect of a culturally sensitive prenatal genetic testing (PGT) education intervention delivered via a mobile application on pregnant women's perceptions, knowledge, and uptake of PGT. Our working hypothesis, based on prior studies, is that pregnant women who receive a culturally sensitive intervention to enhance their knowledge and understanding of PGT will feel more confident in their decision-making regarding PGT.
The aim of the WELL-DONE! Study is to co-design, using different professional figures (midwives, psychologists, master's degree in motor science) but also taking into consideration the pregnant women's point of view, an intervention of adapted physical activity for pregnant women, included in the birth accompaniment courses and conducted by midwives, and to evaluate its effectiveness in terms of quality of life, well-being, levels of physical activity and satisfaction with respect to the proposed intervention.
The SARS-CoV-2 infection may behave differently in pregnant and postpartum women in the short and long term. Several risk factors or medication use can interfere on disease' evolution and vertical transmission. Thus, due the current pandemic and the scarcity of scientific studies involving pregnant women with covid-19 or positive serology, combined with the need to elucidate the behavior of this viral infection in pregnant women in our population, this study aims to evaluate the clinical and laboratory evolution, transplacental passage, gestational and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies with positive SARS-CoV-2.
Pulmonary aspiration of gastric content is one of the most feared perioperative complication of general anesthesia. Pregnant women are usually considered as high risk of pulmonary aspiration but there is no epidemiological study evaluating gastric content in pregnant women during the entire gestation periode. The main objective is evaluating prevalency of "full stomach" in differents stages of pregnancy in fasted pregnant women.
Ultrasound (US) image construction uses equations that contain the value of the propagation velocity of sound waves; this velocity is assumed conventionally to be constant and equal to 1540 m/s in the human body. Since 1977, all manufacturers of US scanners have used this value, which was first established in 1950. In fatty tissue, however, the actual propagation velocity is only in the order of 1450 m/s. US velocity in fat tissue is slower than in other soft tissues (ie:1450 m/s vs 1540 m/s) therefore the intrinsic image quality in terms of sharpness and precision is improved when considering this parameter for image construction The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of ultrasound propagation velocity setting on completeness of ultrasound exams and images quality during the second and third trimester fetal ultrasound examination in obese patients.
The study aims to ascertain whether being placed in a sitting or lateral decubitus position, influences identification of the midpoint of the L4/L5 intervertebral space, using manual demarcation of Tuffier's line. Participants will be randomly assigned to a sitting or lateral decubitus position. The mid-point of the L4/L5 intervertebral space will be identified using anatomical palpation and compared to the "true" mid-point measured by ultrasound. The procedure will be repeated in both positions on the same participant.The study will be a prospective, randomized, double blinded, crossover trial
Actually, our center is doing the prenatal determination of RhD fetal genotype in all RhD negative pregnant women. The investigator want to demonstrate that this is an useful and efficient method.
The aim of this study is to evaluate placenta maturity by the sonographic textures.The evaluation of placenta maturity by the sonographic textures is related to anticipative pregnancy and actual pregnancy . By analyzing this theory, the investigators want to bring up another objective and accurate analysis method in order to provide information for the evaluation of clinical trials.
The National Pregnancy Registry for Psychiatric Medications is dedicated to evaluating the safety of psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, ADHD medications, sedative hypnotics, and atypical antipsychotics that many people take during pregnancy to treat a wide range of mood, anxiety, executive function, or psychiatric disorders. The goal of this Registry is to gather information on the safety of these medications during pregnancy, as current data is limited.
