Trial summary

Perinatal asphyxia is a major cause of hypoxic Ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), perinatal death and long term neurodisability. This can be devastating for the individual and their family; the healthcare and litigation costs notwithstanding. Read more about this study

About this study

Perinatal asphyxia is a major cause of hypoxic Ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), perinatal death and long term neurodisability. This can be devastating for the individual and their family; the healthcare and litigation costs notwithstanding. In recent years have attempted to quantify the effect, and wider impact of intrapartum compromise, as well as the underlying mechanisms for it. After a poor outcome related to intrapartum care parents and healthcare practitioners often strive to understand whether the event could have been predicted and/or prevented. This can be difficult to answer, at least partly related to the heterogeneous fetal response to perinatal asphyxia. Mothers and the maternity service are increasingly encouraged to personalize care and their choices around the birth process, however the information required to guide these choices is most often missing. This makes it difficult for women and professionals to make an informed choice about their care, including the safest mode of birth for them and their baby.

Aim of the study: Identifying antenatal and intrapartum risk factors associated with neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.

Read the detailed description

Antenatal, perinatal and postpartum data will be documented from the medical notes and from parental reports including;

  • Booking factors (maternal age, smoking, parity, previous lower segment caesarean section (LSCS), multiple births)
  • Antenatal factors (preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, prelabor abruption, placenta previa, oligohydramnios, polyhydramnios, threatened preterm labor, gender, concerns of IUGR infant)
  • Labor factors (induction of labor, pre-labor rupture of membranes, planned LSCS, gestation at birth, presentation, prelabor breech, breech delivery, duration of ruptured membranes).
  • Infant characteristics included GA, gender, birth weight (BW), head circumference, and multiplicity.
  • Clinical signs, examination findings and laboratory data also will be included. Most covariates will be extracted from patient's notes, routine data collection or as part of a routine clinical database.

Data will be processed and analyzed using SPSS software and the results will be processed in tables and figures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Antenatal and intrapartum risk factors associated with neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.

    Antenatal, perinatal and postpartum data will be documented from the medical notes and from parental reports including;

    • Booking factors (maternal age, smoking, parity, previous lower segment caesarean section (LSCS), multiple births)
    • Antenatal factors (preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, prelabor abruption, placenta previa, oligohydramnios, polyhydramnios, threatened preterm labor, gender, concerns of IUGR infant)
    • Labor factors (induction of labor, pre-labor rupture of membranes, planned LSCS, gestation at birth, presentation, prelabor breech, breech delivery, duration of ruptured membranes).
    • Infant characteristics included GA, gender, birth weight (BW), head circumference, and multiplicity.
    • Clinical signs, examination findings and laboratory data also will be included. Most covariates will be extracted from patient's notes, routine data collection or as part of a routine clinical database.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy, run by Assiut University.

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 1 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 28 Apr 2020. 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 Radwa Rady, M. B. B. Ch. (01096284005, radwa011200@med.aun.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Antenatal and intrapartum risk factors associated with neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. (time frame: Baseline). 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 NCT04364932, 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 28 Apr 2020.
