Progesterone for First Trimester Vaginal Bleeding
Threatened AbortionPre-Eclampsia3 moreThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether treatment with progesterone for patients with first trimester vaginal bleeding will alter the rates of obstetrical complications and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Plasma Concentration of Biological Markers in Placental Abruption
Abruptio PlacentaeThis will be a prospective study conducted on women with a suspected/confirmed diagnosis of placental abruption. Maternal blood samples will be taken at various points during the peripartum period. A healthy group of women admitted for delivery will act as a matched control and will have their blood sampled at similar time points. The primary outcome variables will include the total number of micro-particles, the number of micro-particles from each cell line (platelet, placental, endothelial etc.), and protein markers (specifically; placental growth factor (PlGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFLT-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble endoglin (sEng)). Secondary outcomes if will examine the correlation between placental micro-particles, biomarkers, and extent of placental abruption.
The Use of Fetal Fibronectin to Predict Delivery Due to Abruptio Placenta
Pregnancy RelatedTrauma1 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine if the presence of fetal fibronectin in the cervicovaginal secretions of pregnant patients with minor maternal trauma predicts impending preterm delivery due to abruptio placenta.
Evaluation of the Serum Markers sFLt1 and PlGF for the Prediction of the Complications of the Placental...
Pre-EclampsiaHELLP Syndrome5 moreThe pre-eclampsia is a frequent pathology, concerning approximately 5 % of the pregnancies.The pre-eclampsia can evolve into severe maternal and\or foetal complications and is a major cause of mortality. The purpose of the study will to estimate the relevance of the serum markers sFlt1 and PlGF to predict the arisen of severe complications at these patients, what would allow to decrease the materno-fœtale morbi-mortality due to the pathology.
Spanish Registry of Pregnant Women With COVID-19
Covid19Pregnancy Complications4 moreStudy title Spanish Registry of Pregnant Women with COVID-19 Protocol number and version Number 55/20. Version V8. Sponsors This registry is a project promoted by Dr. Oscar Martínez Pérez of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of the Puerta de Hierro University Hospital. Principal investigator of the registry National coordinator: Dr. Óscar Martínez Pérez. Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department. Puerta de Hierro University Hospital. Majadahonda. Epidemiologist: Maria Luisa de la Cruz Conti Researchers for each site: 100 sites from 32 Spanish provinces are included (Appendix 1) Funding Neither the hospitals nor the participating investigators will receive any financial compensation for their collaboration. A bank account has been opened at the hospital's Biomedical Research Foundation to receive donations: COV20/00021 - SARS-COV-2 and the COVID-19 disease Call financed by the Carlos III Institute of Health and co-financed with ERDF funds. Abstract Rationale: Knowledge about the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on pregnancy is still scarce and all current recommendations are based on less than 100 cases published in the literature. To identify moderate effects (such as vertical transmission, obstetric morbidity, foetal death, maternal or neonatal death) and to allow accurate risk estimates, larger sample sizes than those currently available are required. Methods: Prospective observational study of pregnant women in whom SARS-CoV-2 infection is suspected at any time during pregnancy with positive test results for SARS-CoV-2, in order to create a registry of baseline characteristics of the pregnant woman, aspects related to the course of pregnancy and delivery, and related to the new-born, with an observation period of up to 14 days after delivery. Subsequently, several phased studies will be conducted to help establish and monitor the set of measures to improve the care of pregnant women. Discussion: The national registry for COVID-19 in pregnancy described here is a tool for sharing and centralizing data related to exposures to SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy in a structured way. It should speed up the process of prospectively obtaining a large unbiased data set and will collect information at national level.
Severe Pregnancy Complications Are Associated With Elevated Factor VIII Plasma Activity
Pregnancy ComplicationsPreeclampsia3 moreCongenital and acquired thrombophilia were identified as risk factors for thrombosis in systemic vessels.Thrombophilias have also been recently found to be associated with preeclampsia, intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR), placental abruption, intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) and repeated pregnancy loss.These severe pregnancy complications are thought to result from thrombotic events occurring in the uteroplacental circulation. Accumulating data have established an association between elevated plasma activity of factor VIII and thrombosis although the mechanism is still not defined and elevated factor VIII activity is now regarded as being equivalent to thrombophilia. We intend to investigatthe association between factor VIII levels and severe pregnancy complications which are considered to result from placental vascular pathology, i.e., preeclampsia, IUGR, placental abruption and IUFD. We hypothezise that the prevalence of elevated factor 8 will be higher among women with pregnancy complications compared to controls.
