About this study

Prospective, non-interventional, monocentric, case-control study

Read the detailed description

The post-traumatic stress state affects up to 6.2% of patients at 2 months post partum.

Emergency cesarean section and rescue hemorrhage are identified risk factors for postpartum stress disorder or postpartum depression.

These complications (emergency cesarean section and hemorrhage of delivery) alter the mother-child relationship and cognitive development of the child.

The experience of an emergency Cesarean section or a haemorrhage of deliverance generates apprehension about a subsequent pregnancy. Some patients abandon a future pregnancy project for fear of reliving these experiences.

Currently, at the southern hospital, the risk factors for developing a state of post-traumatic stress are not sought by the care teams. No specific follow-up is planned for patients who have had an emergency caesarean section or hemorrhage of delivery.

The investigators wish to study the psychological consequences of emergency cesarean section and rescue haemorrhage, the risk factors for post-traumatic stress disorder after emergency cesarean section or hemorrhage of delivery, and their consequences on the mother-child relationship to better identify situations at risk of psychological trauma and provide appropriate care for patients (consultation with a postpartum psychologist).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parturition, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 3 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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?

Post-traumatic stress (time frame: Baseline). 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.
