About this study

The primary objective is to assess in terms of frequency the adverse outcomes (premature birth, maternal-fetal haemorrhage, maternal fetal-neonatal death) of pregnancies of women attending the obstetric-gynaecological emergency department for genital bleeding beyond the 18th week of pregnancy.

Read the detailed description

The investigators decided to conduct this study because it is important on the one hand to carefully evaluate maternal-fetal outcomes in pregnancies characterised by genital bleeding in the second and third trimesters and on the other hand to evaluate the sonographic diagnostic capacity for identifying the aetiology of these genital bleedings, in order to understand whether the possibility of identifying a specific cause of the bleeding has also improved over time as sonographic techniques have improved. This could then allow management and subsequent obstetrical controls to be adapted in a more accurate and indivudualised manner.

For the purpose of this study, no study-specific visits are planned. Data collected during pregnancy and delivery data for patients who gave birth at our centre will be analysed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of hospitalization for genital blood loss

    Measured: After the 18th week of pregnancy

  2. Percentage of preterm births

    Measured: After delivery, up to 24 weeks

  3. Percentage of spontaneous deliveries, operative vaginal, cesarean sections (elective, urgent, emergent)

    Measured: After delivery, up to 24 weeks

  4. Frequency of antihemorrhagic therapy and maternal transfusions

    Measured: Intra-partum and post-partum, up to 24 weeks

  5. Frequency of live births, average APGAR, average pH of umbilical artery or vein, average neonatal weight

    Measured: After delivery, up to 24 weeks

  6. Average length of hospitalization in hours

    Measured: During Hospitalization, up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Frequency of finding abnormal ultrasound findings corresponding to the etiology of bleeding

    To assess whether the ultrasound capability in detecting a specific etiology of bleeding has improved over time in conjunction with the evolution of technology and resolution of ultrasound equipment.

    Measured: During the obstetric ultrasound performed at the time of admission
