Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 42 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Study population: Study population consists of women who were diagnosed clinically with the rest of the placenta after birth or termination of pregnancy (miscarriage or artificial). The women passed the approval of the Commission and undergo therapeutic hysteroscopy. The information is taken from a database of relevant actions Maccabi Healthcare Services, and includes data from 2012 to 2015.

Who may be able to join

  • Women who diagnosed clinically with RPOC
  • women who prefomed therapeutic hysteroscopy under the diagnosis of RPOC

Who cannot join

  • Women who underwent hysteroscopy presumptive diagnosis of RPOC without documentation of pathological results were excluded.
  • Women who have not performed / recorded sonography test before the hysterocpy.

Read the detailed description

Background:

Retained products of conception (RPOC) are a common and treatable complication after delivery or termination of pregnancy. The reported incidence in the literature is around 1% of all pregnancies. Most often, diagnoses are made on clinical basis and there is only scarce information available related to the correlation between the clinical and pathological diagnosis of RPOC. The gold standard for diagnosis of RPOC is based on histopathological confirmation of chorionic villi in tissue derived from the uterus. Once RPOC is diagnosed on a clinical basis, several treatment options are available, including expectant management, pharmacological treatment, and surgical interventions. Given the risks associated with surgical interventions, accurate diagnosis is vital. Guidelines at Maccabi Health Care Organization mandate that hysteroscopic removal of suspected RPOC should be performed only after approval by a Gynecological Surgical Preauthorization committee. Based on the activity of this committee and starting 2011, Maccabi has developed a database on certain gynecologic-surgical procedures including hysteroscopic removal of suspected RPOC.

Purpose of the study:

The main purpose is to evaluate the correlation in qualitative and quantitative manner between clinical diagnosis of retained placenta and histology.

Expected results:

70% correlation between the clinical and pathological diagnosis of RPOC.

Methods:

Establishing a dedicated database which includes demographic, clinical and histological data of women who have undergone hysteroscopic removal of suspected RPOC and statistical assessment of correlations.

Significance:

Determination of the correlation between clinical suspicion and histological diagnosis of retained placental tissue Finding clinical parameters that may increase the accuracy of this diagnosis and will help to prevent unnecessary procedures.

What is being measured

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

  1. the correlation between clinical suspicion and histological diagnosis of retained placental tissue Finding is 67.5 %.

    Measured: sep-oct 2016

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. No clinical symptoms increase the accuracy of this diagnosis. There no advantage in the use of diagnostic hysteroscopy in case of suspected retainted placenta.

    Measured: sep-oct 2016

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Retained Product of Pregnancy, run by Bait Balev Hospital.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

the correlation between clinical suspicion and histological diagnosis of retained placental tissue Finding is 67.5 %. (time frame: sep-oct 2016). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Feb 2020.
