About this study
Official title: Clinical Audit on the Quality of Care of Elective Caesarean Section
- Measure compliance of the care of elective caesarean section with ERAS standards
- Measure the quality of recovery of women undergoing elective caesarean section
Read the detailed description
Caesarean section is one of most common surgeries worldwide and in Egypt. The Egyptian Demographic and Health Survey 2014 revealed a rising caesarean section rate .
Many of these procedures are elective allowing time for preparation of the patient for surgery.
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal, multi disciplinary, evidence based approach to surgical care with an ultimate goal to enhance recovery and improve maternal and neonatal outcome .
This is done through optimizing multiple aspects of patient care to enhance recovery and so accelerate (facilitate) earlier discharge (decrease length of stay, decrease opioids use and encourage breastfeeding) .
A comparative study in Egypt found ERAS to be effective in controlling perioperative gastrointestinal symptoms, pain control and encourages early ambulation with offering earlier resumption of intestinal motility, higher satisfaction and fewer days of admission .
The clinical audit is a tool for assessing the compliance of current practice with the standard of care. In an audit, both process of care compliance and outcome of care can be measured to highlight gaps that need to be addressed by the institution . Enhanced Recovery After Surgery society issued Guidelines for elective Cesarean Section care .
They include elements in preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care. Compliance with each of these items was associated with improved maternal or neonatal outcome and a better recovery experience .

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Cesarean Section and Quality Of Care, 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 5 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 Mar 2021. 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 Youstina Th Adeeb, Resident (01001736168, nanatharwat45@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
the percentage of compliance of care with ERAS society guidelines (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 NCT04816279, which also lists 7 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.
