About this study

Official title: Effect of Time of COVID 19 Infection on Fetomaternal Outcome, and Immunological Changes During the Disease Course

The novel coronavirus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was discovered for the first time in December 2019 in Wuhan (China) and the disease it causes is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Now, this pandemic is rapidly spreading all over the world.

Pregnant have higher rates of COVID-19, associated with hospitalizations, and severe in-hospital outcomes. Immune responses may have a potential role in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of patients with COVID-19. So we need of identifying biomarkers for disease severity and progression.

Read the detailed description

It is important to define whether a novel virus is transmissible from a mother to her infant, vertical infection, and there are three possible mechanisms for vertical infection - intrauterine infection (including transplacental and ascending infections), intrapartum transmission (during delivery), and postpartum infection. These mechanisms have important implications that can influence obstetrical management decisions, best practice delivery options, and neonatal care (3).

Aim of work To detect the effect of time of infection by COVID 19 on the fetomaternal outcome including vertical transmission, and the immunological and genetic changes during the disease course.

Patients and Methods:

  • All pregnant women eligible for the study will undergo detailed medical history.
  • Each patient will have the following data: • Patient name. • Age. • Past medical and surgical history. • Menstrual history and contraceptive history: especially emphasis on Last Menstrual Period to determine the exact gestational age.
  • Clinical examination of the patients: - General examination of vital data (blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiratory rate). CBC, PT, PTT, RBS, ALT, AST, serum creatinine), and ultrasound will be done.
  • Abdominal examination: to detect any abnormality as intrauterine growth restriction, with serial ultrasound estimation.

What is being measured

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

  1. First, second and third trimester fetomaternal complications.

    Abdominal examination: to detect any abnormality as intra uterine growth restriction, with serial ultrasound estimation.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. fetal distress

    Intrapartum fetal heart rate (FHR) to detect viability and any abnormalities. Pregnant women diagnosed to have intrapartum fetal distress (Non reassuring or pathological changes according to NICE guidelines 2017)

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. fetal outcome

    After birth: Apgar score will be used to identify distress newborns that need resuscitation and nicu admissionsigns of fetal pulmonary complication, acute respiratory distress syndrome.

    The Apgar score comprises five components: 1) color, 2) heart rate, 3) reflexes, 4) muscle tone, and 5) respiration, each of which is given a score of 0, 1, or 2. A score of 7 to 10 after five minutes is "reassuring." A score of 4 to 6 is "moderately abnormal." A score of 0 to 3 is concerning. It indicates a need for increased intervention, usually in assistance for breathing.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Time of infection and fetal complications

    Time from the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection to day of labour will be collected as a categorical factor and pre-determined to be analysed.

    Measured: 3 months

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?

First, second and third trimester fetomaternal complications. (time frame: 3 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.
