About this study

Exposure to Household air pollution (HAP) from burning biomass fuels is responsible for an estimated 2.5 million premature deaths and 3.7% of the loss of disability-adjusted life years (DALY) every year in developing countries.52-54 Of all environmental risks, such as unsafe water, poor sanitation, climate change and lead exposure, HAP accounts for the most mortality and DALY.55 Despite the magnitude of the problems associated with HAP, research on its health effects has been hindered by lack of accurate data on exposure and health outcomes. There are few studies available that report HAP exposures and development of adverse pregnancy outcomes from households using biomass fuels.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes

    (first trimester miscarriages, intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight (300gm less weight in controls relative to intervention group, premature deliveries (deliveries before 37 weeks of pregnancy) and still births.

    Measured: At birth

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reduction in personal exposure to PM2.5, CO and PAH

    Reduction in personal exposure to PM2.5, CO and PAH in the Ethanol intervention group relative to the control (kerosene/firewood) group

    Measured: At birth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Clean Cookstove and Traditional Cookstove in people with Pregnancy, run by University of Chicago at 1 site in Nigeria.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Nigeria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes (time frame: At birth). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02394574, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Oct 2024.
