What is being measured

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

  1. Detection of incidence of congenital heart disease in infants of diabetic mothers

    This was done using echocardiography: two-dimensional study, color Doppler, pulsed and continuous wave Doppler as well as m-mode study.

    Measured: First week

  2. Hemodynamic significance of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)and patent Foramen Ovale (PFO)

    This was done using echocardiography: two-dimensional study, color Doppler, pulsed and continuous wave Doppler as well as m-mode study for assessments of PDA and PFO in infants of diabetic mothers in comparison with healthy controls.

    Measured: First two months of life

  3. Assessment of left ventricular dimensions in infants of diabetic mothers in comparison to healthy controls.

    Using M-mode images under guidance of two dimensional echocardiography in parasternal long axis view was done for all participants measuring of the following:

    • Left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVDs).
    • Left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVDd).
    • Inter ventricular septal diameter (IVSd).
    • Left ventricular posterior wall thickness during diastole (LVPWd).
    • Left ventricular posterior wall thickness during systole (LVPWs) those measures are compared in infant of diabetic mothers and healthy controls.

    Measured: First two months of life

  4. Assessment of left ventricular dimensions in infants of diabetic mothers in comparison to healthy controls.

    Using M-mode images under guidance of two dimensional echocardiography in parasternal long axis view was done for all participants measuring of the following:

    • Ejection fraction (EF) .
    • Fractional shortening (FS). those measures are compared in infant of diabetic mothers and healthy controls.

    Measured: First two months of life

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infant of Diabetic Mother, run by Marwa Mohamed Farag 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 1 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 30 Nov 2022. 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?

Detection of incidence of congenital heart disease in infants of diabetic mothers (time frame: First week). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05050058, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Nov 2022.
