About this study

Official title: Normal and Pathological Values of Postvoiding Residual Volume in Early Postpartum Period and Their Predisposing Factors (PAREZ - Partus - Residual Urine)

Aim of this study is to asses post voiding residual volume by ultrasound scan 3th day after delivery with consecutive scan after 6 weeks, and determination of data dispersion among the population of primiparas. In women with excessive retention (+2SD), risk factors such as duration of labour, use of epidural analgesia, instrumental delivery, maternal birth injury and weight of the newborn will be noted down.

Read the detailed description

Pregnancy itself and vaginal delivery are well known risk factors for pelvic floor dysfunction. The rise in progesterone related to pregnancy has an inhibitory effect on bladder smooth muscle - decreased smooth muscle tonus in lower urinary tract. Weight and pressure of pregnant uterus and loosening of some of the pelvic ligaments changes the statics of pelvic floor. In addition, delivery itself influence lower urinary tract; an overdistension of urinary bladder can occur easily, also as oedema of urethra or urethral hinge apparatus injury during "crowning" of the fetal head.

All of these factors can affect consecutive function of lower urinary tract right after delivery. It is known that in 1,5% of women giving birth, symptomatic urinary retention develop in early postpartum period, with necessity of insertion of an indwelling catheter. Discussed risk factors are: epidural analgesia, instrumental delivery and primiparity. The investigators can assume that every woman in early postpartum period has (to some extend) even in normal circumstances postvoiding residual volume. There is few evidence in a literature about this postpartum residual volume and its predisposing factors.

Postvoiding residual volume can be risk factor for postpartum urinary infection, which forms second largest part in infectious morbidity of women. By determination of risk factors (for increased post voiding residual volume) the investigators could narrow the group of women which necessitate increased attention in postpartal monitoring.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urinary Retention, run by Comenius University at 1 site in Slovakia.

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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2021. 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 Slovakia. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Due to covid pandemia related restrictions). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Change in postvoiding residual volume (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 18 May 2021.
