  • Adult

Study population: All patients with isolated oligohydramnios were term (37-40 weeks' gestation according to accurate last menstrual period and first trimester sonographic examination). Oligohydramnios was defined as an amniotic fluid index < 5 cm. The control group consisted of prolonged pregnancies in the absence of spontaneous labor and oligohydramnios. Prolonged pregnancy is diagnosed if 41 gestational weeks are completed according to accurate date of last menstrual period and first trimester ultrasound.

Who may be able to join

  • term isolated oligohydramnios
  • postdate pregnancies
  • vertex presentation
  • singleton pregnancies
  • primigravid and multigravid women

Who cannot join

  • women with presence of any chronic disease
  • maternal condition complicating the pregnancy

About this study

Official title: Management of Active Induction of Labor in Pregnancies Complicated With Oligohydramnios at Term; the Mode of Delivery and the Neonatal Outcomes

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the risk of cesarean delivery in pregnancies complicated with isolated oligohydramnios managed by induction of labor. This prospective case-control study was conducted in Hamıdıye Sisli Etfal Teaching and Research Hospital between January 2013 and June 2014. 159 women with isolated oligohydramnios and 165 women with postdate pregnancies who met the inclusion criteria underwent induction of labor with dinoprostone or oxytocin. The rate and the indications of C/S deliveries were compared between two groups.

Read the detailed description

The study was designed as a prospective study. The rates of cesarean section and maternal/fetal outcomes had been compared between pregnancies complicated with isolated oligohydramnios at term and postdate pregnancies. All patients with isolated oligohydramnios were term (37-40 weeks' gestation according to accurate last menstrual period and first trimester sonographic examination). Oligohydramnios was defined as an amniotic fluid index < 5 cm. The control group consisted of prolonged pregnancies in the absence of spontaneous labor and oligohydramnios. Prolonged pregnancy is diagnosed if 41 gestational weeks are completed according to accurate date of last menstrual period and first trimester ultrasound. All patients who accepted to join the study gave informed consent. All patients had a complete physical and obstetrical examination. Vital signs were recorded at regular intervals. The primary outcome measure was defined as cesarean section rates in pregnancies complicated with isolated oligohydramnios managed by induction of labor.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oligohydramnios, run by Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital.

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 5 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 21 Oct 2015. 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?

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?

Cesarean rates in pregnancies complicated with isolated oligohydramnios (time frame: up to 18 month). 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 21 Oct 2015.
