Trial summary

Many studies have attempted to find the predictors of adverse neonatal outcome in women with Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy(ICP).Serum total bile acid level exceeding 40 µmol/L has been associated with increased risk of meconium staining, low Apgar scores, preterm delivery, and stillbirth.Other predictors such… Read more about this study

About this study

Many studies have attempted to find the predictors of adverse neonatal outcome in women with Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy(ICP).Serum total bile acid level exceeding 40 µmol/L has been associated with increased risk of meconium staining, low Apgar scores, preterm delivery, and stillbirth.Other predictors such as level of transaminases, history of cholelithiasis, and hepatitis virus infection have been studied but the results are inconclusive.A more comprehensive investigation involving multiple neonatal outcomes and a wide variety of outcome predictors is needed in order to establish guidelines for optimal timing of delivery in pregnancies complicated by ICP. The aim of our study was to evaluate wide variety of predictors of adverse neonatal outcomes in a large cohort of women with ICP .

Read the detailed description

We performed a retrospective cohort study of all women diagnosed with ICP. Pregnancy outcomes including delivery gestational age, spontaneous preterm delivery, iatrogenic preterm delivery, birth weight, mode of delivery, oligohydramnios, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), placental abruption, preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM), concerning fetal heart tracing, chorioamnionitis, endometritis, postpartum hemorrhage, transfusion, stillbirth, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, hyperbilirubinemia, meconium stained amniotic fluid, respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) or transient tachypnea of newborn(TTN) (transient tachypnea of the newborn), and composite neonatal outcome were ascertained. A composite adverse neonatal outcome was created and defined as any of the following: NICU admission, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, RDS, TTN, mechanical ventilation use, oxygen by nasal cannula, pneumonia, and stillbirth. PPROM was defined by rupture of membrane before 37 weeks gestation. Concerning fetal heart tracing was defined as recurrent variable or late decelerations with moderate variability, prolonged decelerations, or category 3 tracing. Providers who were caring for the women reviewed and independently characterized fetal heart tracings. Since fetal heart tracings were not accessible to authors, authors accepted the providers' interpretation. For analysis of concerning fetal heart tracing, women with non-labor cesarean section were excluded. Hyperbilirubinemia was defined by neonatal hyperbilirubinemia that required phototherapy. Hypoglycemia was defined by neonatal hypoglycemia that required intravenous infusion. Diagnosis of RDS and TTN were made by the managing neonatologist and based on standard clinical guidelines.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy, run by Daping Hospital and the Research Institute of Surgery of the Third Military Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 18 Aug 2021. 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 China. 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?

Hypoglycemia (time frame: up to 28 days). The study lists 9 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 18 Aug 2021.
