About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Ultrasound Staging System in Prediction of Morbidly Adherent Placenta

The investigators evaluated the efficacy of a staging system introduced by the American Institute of ultrasound in medicine 2015 including sonographic parameters associated with morbidly adherent placenta for antenatal prediction of placental invasion.

Read the detailed description

Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) defines a spectrum of conditions, including placenta accreta, increta, and percreta, which are associated with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Ultrasound evaluation, with grayscale, is the recommended first-line modality for diagnosing MAP. Grayscale ultrasound features suggestive of placenta accreta include the loss of myometrial interface or retroplacental clear space, reduced myometrial thickness and the presence of intraplacental lacunae. Using a staging system by antenatal ultrasound can predict placental invasion antenatally.

What participants receive

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

  • UltrasoundDevice

    Pregnant women in 3rd trimester with anterior placenta previa and lower cesarean section scar. Ultrasound was done and according to parameters of the morbidly adherent placenta, a staging system was conducted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound in people with Obstetric Labor Complications and Staging of Placental Invasion, run by Beni-Suef University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 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 5 Feb 2020. 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 Egypt. 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?

Confirmation of the stage of myometrial placental invasion (time frame: 1 hour). 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 NCT04253197, which also lists 2 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 5 Feb 2020.
