Trial summary

Amniotic fluid (AF) pH can be affected by the maternal and/or fetal conditions such as PPROM, prematurity or fetal distress. It is known that fetal urine is the major content of AF since 20th gestational week. Read more about this study

About this study

Amniotic fluid (AF) pH can be affected by the maternal and/or fetal conditions such as PPROM, prematurity or fetal distress. It is known that fetal urine is the major content of AF since 20th gestational week. Besides fetal alveolar fluid (FAF), gastrointestinal tract, umbilical cord and fetal side of placenta are important sources for AF. Bombesin-like peptides, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine in fetal urine and leukotriene E(4), lecithin, sphingomyelin, lamellar body in FAF are molecules acting on fetal lung maturation. Varying levels of these molecules relevant to the stage of lung maturation may constitute an association to AF pHTo detect the possible effect of AF pH on neonatal respiratory morbidities 1 milliliters of AF is aspirated during C-section before incision of membranes. pH value of AFs were analyzed by the blood gas machine (Siemens RAPIDLab®1200 Systems) of NICU. Maternal and neonatal demographic features and clinical outcomes, incidences of morbidities such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) are all recorded.

maternal inflammation groupActive comparatorAmniotic fluid analysis by blood gas device: evaluate the possible association between maternal inflammation and amniotic fluid pH two groups will be designed. One group will consist of infants born to mothers with infection/inflammation whereas the control group will consist of infants born to mothers without infection/inflammation. In all deliveries amniotic fluid will be taken and will be analyzed by blood gas device.

What is being measured

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

  1. A total of 200 amniotic fluid (1ml per one) would be collected and analyzed for the study.

    Amniotic fluid will be analysed for the value of its pH

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 8 months

  2. A total of 200 amniotic fluid (1ml per one) would be collected and analyzed for the study.

    Amniotic fluid will be analysed for the value of its contents of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chlorid.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 8 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. A total of 200 amniotic fluid (1ml per one) would be collected and analyzed for the study.

    Amniotic fluid will be analyzed for primary outcome measures by conventional methods and devices.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Amniotic fluid analysis by blood gas device in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Transient Tachypnea of Newborn, run by Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Nov 2019. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

A total of 200 amniotic fluid (1ml per one) would be collected and analyzed for the study. (time frame: through study completion, an average of 8 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Nov 2019.
