  • Ages 21 to 35 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: The singleton pregnant women who were diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum were included in the study group (group I) and the singleton pregnant women who had a healthy pregnancy were included in the control group (group II). For each pregnant woman who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and was eligible for Group I, the first patient in the ranking order of the files who met the criteria previously mentioned in the Materials and Methods section was selected for Group II.

Who may be able to join

About this study

Official title: Examination of the Maternal Serum Pepsinogen-1 in Patients Diagnosed With Severe Hyperemesis Gravidarum: A Prospective Case-control Study

In this study, the investigators planned to investigate maternal serum pepsinogen-1 (MSPG-1) levels in pregnant women with severe hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and pregnant women without severe HG.

HG is the most common cause of hospitalization in the first trimester of pregnancy and represents an economic burden on the healthcare system. Therefore, our aim in this study was to investigate whether there is a statistical difference in MSPG-1 levels between pregnant women with severe HG and pregnant women without severe HG and to determine a cut-off value for MSPG-1 levels for the indication of hospitalization of pregnant women with HG.

The study poses no risk to the pregnant woman or the fetus.

Read the detailed description

The study will enroll pregnant women in the first trimester with maternal age between 21 and 35 years who were diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum and had no fetal congenital or chromosomal abnormalities and who were admitted to the perinatology outpatient clinic of Etlik City Hospital. The investigators will include 40 cases with no signs and diagnosis of systemic maternal disease and no chronic drug use as a case group and 40 healthy pregnant women matched for age, gestational week and body mass index as a control group.

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?

Pepsinogen-1 serum level (time frame: between 5 and 14 weeks of pregnancy). 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 NCT06581796, 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 27 Nov 2024.
