About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn focused on measuring Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn

Eligibility Criteria

undefined - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy between 26 and 36 6/7 weeks.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Problems in the handling of the amniotic fluid sample that prevented the calculation of the optical density.

Sites / Locations

  • Saint Thomas Maternity Hospital

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Arm Label

Preterm fetus

Arm Description

Patients with pregnancies between 26 and 36 6/7 weeks of pregnancy. Before the birth, a sample of amniotic fluid was taken and analyzed using optical density at 650nm. A value above 0.15 was considered an indication of fetal lung maturity.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
Diagnosis of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in the neonatal period. The diagnosis was made by the neonatologist in charge (using clinical and radiological parameters).
