The Study of Cardiovascular Outcomes in Women With Preeclampsia Using Echocardiography: The SCOPE...

Preeclampsia

This study will evaluate the differences in cardiovascular parameters between women with severe preterm preeclampsia and those without preeclampsia using echocardiography and maternal blood. The investigators will also look at associations of abnormal cardiovascular findings and immediate complications among a high risk cohort of pregnant African American women.

First-trimester Prediction of Preeclampsia

PreeclampsiaSevere Preeclampsia2 more

Preeclampsia is a complication of pregnancy related to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, including fetal growth restriction and perinatal death. Several measures are used or under investigation (low-dose aspirin, low-molecular weight heparin, calcium, folic acid, among others) for the prevention of preeclampsia. Unfortunately, most high-risk women who could benefit from those preventive measures are not identified until late in pregnancy. Recent evidences suggest that the investigators could identify women at risk of developing preeclampsia using a combination of serum and ultrasound biomarkers in the first-trimester of pregnancy. This screening test needs external validation. A first-trimester screening strategy will strengthen clinical research on preeclampsia and will contribute to the development of strategy combining the prediction and prevention of the disease and its related complications.

Immature Platelet Fraction as a Promising Biomarker in Prediction Outcome of HELLP Syndrome

Pre-EclampsiaSevere2 more

Immature platelet fraction is a non-invasive test of real time thrombopoiesis. High IPF% has been suggested as an indicator of thrombocytopenia due to rapid platelet consumption. IPF% is able to discriminate between patients with TTP/HUS or SPE/HELLP

Collection of Samples From Pregnant Women for the Evaluation of Preeclampsia (Pre-E) Biomarkers...

PreeclampsiaHypertension5 more

Preeclampsia (Pre-E) is a hypertensive disease of pregnancy with multi-system involvement that usually occurs in the second half of pregnancy. Pre-E occurs in 5% to 7% of U.S. pregnancies, and is the third-leading cause of U.S. maternal death. Improvements to the current diagnostic paradigm have been evaluated. However, no stand-alone diagnostic method has emerged that more accurately identifies women at risk for preeclampsia, warranting improvements in diagnosing Pre-E. This sample collection study will obtain serum and urine samples from pregnant women who present with clinical signs, symptoms, or conditions contributing to the suspicion of Pre-E. Samples will be used to evaluate and validate the performance of an assay intended to aid in assessing the risk of Pre-E.

Podocyturia as Predictive Factor for Pre-eclampsia

Pre-Eclampsia

Pre-eclampsia is an hypertensive disorder appearing during pregnancy, inducing serious maternal, fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. Podocyn could be identified in the urine, before proteinuria, a key element in the diagnostic of pre-eclampsia. Preventive treatment using aspirin could be administrated in early pregnancy. We hypothesized that podocyturia could be an early indicator of preeclampsia. This is a prospective, non-interventional, monocentric study.

Promising Bimarker Prediction of Outcome of HELLP Syndrome.

Pre-EclampsiaSevere2 more

HELLP syndrome is a life-threatening obstetric complication usually considered to be a variant or complication of pre-eclampsia. And may occasionally be confused with other diseases complicating pregnancy such as acute fatty liver of pregnancy, gastroenteritis, hepatitis, appendicitis, gallbladder disease, immune thrombocytopenia, lupus flare, antiphospholipid syndrome, hemolytic-uremic syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The distinction between thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome and severe preeclampsia is important for therapeutic and prognostic reasons. However, the clinical and histological features are so similar that establishing the correct diagnosis is often difficult; furthermore, these disorders may occur concurrently.

Blood Collection to Validated New Therapeutics Strategies Against Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia

The aim of the study is to setup a collection of maternal plasma and serum from patients with preeclampsia and normal pregnancy for in vitro validation of new therapeutics based on extra-corporal removal of sFlt-1

Evaluation of the Serum Markers sFLt1 and PlGF for the Prediction of the Complications of the Placental...

Pre-EclampsiaHELLP Syndrome5 more

The 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.

Platelet Count Trends in Pre-eclamptic Parturients

Obstetric Labor ComplicationsPreeclampsia1 more

Thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 100,000/mL) occurs in approximately 15% of women with preeclampsia. Neuraxial analgesia is contraindicated in parturients with a coagulopathy; therefore, the platelet count(PC) is routinely checked prior to the initiation of neuraxial analgesia in women with preeclampsia/eclampsia. Catheter removal is also contraindicated in the presence of a coagulopathy. Some women have an acceptable PC at the initiation of neuraxial analgesia, but may become significantly more thrombocytopenic during labor and delivery. In a study of severely preeclamptic parturients, some with HELLP (H=hemolysis of red blood cells, EL=elevated liver enzymes, LP=low platelet count) syndrome, the admission PC correlated with the PC nadir. However, the natural progression of the PC has not been studied in women with mild preeclampsia. We hypothesize that women with mild preeclampsia or severe preeclampsia without HELLP syndrome, and whose admission PC is greater than 150,000/mL, will have a stable PC during the course of labor and delivery and do not require another PC check prior to initiation of neuraxial analgesia or removal of the epidural catheter. The purpose of this study is to determine the positive predictive value of an initial PC greater than 150,000/mL for maintaining a PC greater than 80,000/mL during labor and delivery.
