Reproductive Health of Couples of Childbearing Age: a Community Based

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This community based prospective cohort study was established to investigate the fecundability of couples of childbearing age. Data are collected regarding age, body mass index, education, menstrual regularity as well as childbearing history. Results of routine examination of leucorrhea, blood glucose, liver function of the female spouse, and semen analysis of the male spouse are obtained from the National Free Pre-conception Check-up Projects (NFPCP) in China. Couples recruited will be followed every 6 months for at least 1 year, and their time to pregnancy as well as behavior of seeking medical care would be recorded. Blood sample and/or information of antral follicle count would be collected from participants who fail to conceive after 12 months of attempts.

Clinical Trial Description

Infertility is a heavy burden on families, with important implications for individuals and public health. In the last decades, the trend of delaying marriage and childbearing has further exacerbated the burden of infertility. From February 2010 to November 2011, a large-scale population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in northern and eastern China. It was reported that the overall prevalence of infertility was 15.5% among women 'at risk' of pregnancy, and 25.0% among women attempting to become pregnant in China. The prevalence of infertility was surprisingly high and aroused our great attention. To further explore the fecundability and associated risk factors in current China, this community based prospective cohort study was established. Recruitment will be performed at cites of National Free Pre-conception Check-up Projects (NFPCP). Besides of the information of sociodemographic characteristics and childbearing history of couples, their results of check-ups will also be obtained. By regular follow-ups, valid data of time to pregnancy will be collected. A prospective cohort would provide an opportunity to reveal the incidence of infertility, and explore the underlying risk factors of infertility, as well as the demand of assisted reproductive technology. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
