About this study

Fetal PATET ratio evaluation to predict neonatal RDS

Read the detailed description

115 patients were enrolled in this study.Population was recruited from singleton pregnancies beyond 27 weeks of gestation.All participants underwent a ultrasound examination to measure fetal pulmonary artery acceleration to ejection time ratio (PATET) by a single experienced clinician. After the delivery respiratory distress diagnosis made by a pediatrician who were blinded the doppler waveform measurements.Following the diagnosis, neonates divided into 2 groups as RDS (+) and RDS (-). In addition of RDS diagnosis, neonatal features like 1st and 5th minute APGAR scores, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission and duration in NICU were also recorded. Afterwards all parameters were statistically analyzed if there is any significant differences between those two groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurement of fetal pulmonary acceleration time to ejection time ratio via ultrasonography in the 115 pregnant women between 27 to 37 weeks of gestation for prediction of respiratory distress syndrome

    The aim of this study is to obtain the effectiveness of fetal pulmonary artery acceleration time to ejection time ratio in fetal lung maturity evaluation

    Measured: Ten months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of RDS, run by Kayseri Education and Research 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 4 Jan 2017. 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?

Measurement of fetal pulmonary acceleration time to ejection time ratio via ultrasonography in the 115 pregnant women between 27 to 37 weeks of gestation for prediction of respiratory distress syndrome (time frame: Ten months). 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 NCT03008200, 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 4 Jan 2017.
