About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Accuracy of Doppler Ultrasound and Role of Uterine Artery Doppler in Cases of Placenta Accreta

This study will be conducted on (100) pregnant women diagnosed as placenta previa by ultrasonography and are candidates for either emergency or elective repeated cesarean section or hysterectomy (if the diagnosis of placenta accreta is confirmed).

All of those patients are presenting during the period of may 2018 to july 2018 to Kasr-Al Ainy Obstetrics outpatient clinic or casualty department during their 3rd trimester.

All of them will be assorted according to certain inclusion and exclusion criterions as follow:

Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted on (100) pregnant women diagnosed as placenta previa by ultrasonography and are candidates for either emergency or elective repeated cesarean section or hysterectomy (if the diagnosis of placenta accreta is confirmed).

Those patients are attending to Kasr-Al Ainy Obstetrics outpatient clinic or casualty department during their 3rd trimester.

Ultrasound and doppler will be done to all patients to diagnose placenta accreta . The diagnosis will be confirmed by intraoperative assessments and histopathological examination of the uterus after cesarean hysterectomy

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ultrasound and dopplerDiagnostic test

    • Ultrasound examination (2D gray scale and color doppler )
    1. Confirming the presence of placenta previa 2,To assess the possibility of concomitant placenta accreta (Sonographic findings that have been associated with placenta accreta (1) Loss of normal hypoechoic retroplacental zone (2) Multiple vascular lacunae (irregular vascular spaces) within placenta, (3) Blood vessels or placental tissue bridging uterine-placental margin, myometrial-bladder interface, or crossing uterine serosa1 (4) Retroplacental myometrial thickness of 1 mm (5) Bladder wall interruption (6) Presence of placental bulge (7) Utero-vesical hypervascularity (8) presence of lacunae feeder vessels.
    2. Assessment of uterine artery Doppler in different cases of placenta previa.

    . Documentation of the operative findings during cesarean section and/or cesarean hysterectomy procedures.

    Histopathological examination of the hysterectomy specimens to assess the degree of myometrial invasion.

What is being measured

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

  1. accuracy of ultrasound and doppler in detecting placenta accreta

    accuracy of uterine artery doppler in diagnosing placenta accreta diagnosed intraoperative or by histopathological examination done after cesarian hysterectomy

    Measured: 3 moths

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ultrasound and doppler in people with Placenta Accreta, run by Kasr El Aini 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 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hala Nabil, M.D (02001002412549, fawzy.jana@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

accuracy of ultrasound and doppler in detecting placenta accreta (time frame: 3 moths). 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 25 May 2018.
