About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Diagnostic Performance of Specialized Fetal Cardiac Ultrasound in the CPDPN - Arc Alpin Network From 2015 to 2019 Descriptive, Retrospective, Single-center Study Over 5 Years.

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of antenatal echocardiography with regard to the main diagnosis of heart disease made by cardio-pediatricians at the couple-child hospital in Grenoble according to the ACC-CHD classification, in pregnant women who have had a fetal heart ultrasound between 2015 and 2019.

*ACC-CHD : Anatomic and Clinical Classification of Congenital Heart Defects

Read the detailed description

This work is in line with the desire of the Pluridisciplinary Center for Pre-Natal Diagnosis (CPDPN) of the Arc Alpin network, to assess their professional practices regarding the prenatal diagnosis of heart disease over the last five years from 2015 to 2019, and so identify areas for improving their care.

Within the Arc-Alpin network, pregnant women for whom an abnormality is detected in the fetus during the screening ultrasound, then benefit from a diagnostic ultrasound, to confirm the detected abnormality. Then, the patient's file will be studied within the CPDPN of the Alpine Arc, and the patient will then be referred to a doctor specializing in the diagnosed fetal pathology. The latter will prescribe additional examinations to characterize as much as possible the diagnosed pathology, in order to develop a course of action to be taken, and to establish a prognosis for this fetus (specialized ultrasound, MRI, amniocentesis, etc.)

As part of the diagnosis of fetal heart disease, the woman will be referred to cardio-pediatricians at the Couple Enfant Hospital in Grenoble, who will perform a so-called specialized 2nd line ultrasound in order to clarify the diagnosis, to develop a course of action to take, and establish a prognosis for this unborn child.

We therefore want to study the diagnostic performance of specialized 2nd line fetal cardiac ultrasound in the CPDPN network of the Alpin Arc, by comparing the diagnosis established following the 2nd line fetal echocardiography with the reference examination (test of reference) which is the postnatal cardiac ultrasound.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of antenatal echocardiography with regard to the main diagnosis of heart disease made by cardio-pediatricians at the Grenoble couple-child hospital according to the ACC-CHD classification.

    Sensitivity of fetal echocardiography to the primary diagnosis of heart disease made by cardio-pediatricians.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of antenatal echocardiography with regard to the main diagnosis of heart disease made by cardio-pediatricians in each pathology sub-category of the ACC-CHD classification.

    Sensitivity of fetal cardiac ultrasound to the main heart disease diagnosis made by cardio-pediatricians in each pathology subcategory of the ACC-CHD classification.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of antenatal echocardiography with regard to secondary diagnoses of heart disease made by cardio-pediatricians.

    Sensitivity of fetal echocardiography to secondary heart disease diagnosis made by cardio-pediatricians in each pathology subgroup.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Defects, Congenital and Ultrasonography, Prenatal, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 29 Apr 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 France. 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?

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?

Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of antenatal echocardiography with regard to the main diagnosis of heart disease made by cardio-pediatricians at the Grenoble couple-child hospital according to the ACC-CHD classification. (time frame: 5 years). 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 29 Apr 2021.
