About this study

Official title: Maternal Pregnancy Induced Hypertension and Hematological Profile of Newborns

Maternal high blood pressure remodels the intrauterine environment of the fetus by altering hormonal and cellular signaling patterns and, as a result increases the risk of fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. Newborns of these mothers have an increased risk of intrauterine growth restriction, premature birth and hematological abnormalities, such as thrombocytopenia, polycythemia, and neutropenia. The purpose of the article is to review neonatal thrombocytopenia and neutropenia as a consequence of maternal high blood pressure and to establish the optimal management of these cases.

Read the detailed description

Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and preeclampsia (preE) are caused by gestation and have an onset after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Although the exact etiology of PIH and preE remains unknown, two interconnected mechanisms have been identified to play an important role in the pathogenesis: dysfunction of the placental trophoblast and endothelial dysfunction within the maternal systemic vasculature. The endothelium has been identified as the target tissue of the disease. Endothelial alterations ultimately manifest as placental hypoxia and hypoplasia. The neonatal thrombocytopenia and neutropenia after pregnancy-induced hypertension is a result of inhibition of fetal bone marrow production of the myeloid lineage due to intrauterine hypoxic environment. This study aims to investigate the hematological profile in term and preterm infants born to mothers with preeclampsia. The current retrospective observational study was conducted at the Clinic of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Neonatology of the Emergency County Hospital, Timisoara over a period of three years, from January 2014 to December 2016. All inborn patient files were analyzed as anonymised limited data sets from archived records of the Neonatology Department.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Maternal-Fetal Exchange, run by Romanian Society of Anesthesia and Intensive Care at 1 site in Romania.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 29 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Romania. 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?

Hematological Changes in the Newborns of Mothers with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (time frame: Blood profiles of newborns aged between 1-28 days were evaluated.). 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 NCT03265704, which also lists 4 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 29 Aug 2017.
