About this study

The objective of the study is to develop a machine learning -based prediction model for patients with placenta previa . The model will be based on patient characteristics, clinical assessment, and disease features to predict disease course, prognosis and establish an individualized plan of care. Individualized management plan comprises timing of delivery, mode of delivery, need for hospital admission, postpartum hemorrhage management plan, and perioperative care.

The primary outcome is to predict maternal complications, primarily major antepartum hemorrhage (APH), defined as blood loss of 50-1000 ml.

Read the detailed description
  • Study settings: This multi-center study will invite at least 8 European-based tertiary centers. Data will be retrospectively collected from January 2018 to December 2023. with a total follow-up of at least 6 weeks postpartum. All women who will be diagnosed with PP during this period will be considered in the study.
  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • Pregnant women diagnosed with placenta previa at time of routine second trimester ultrasound (18 to 21 weeks of gestation).
  • Aged 18 years old or above.
  • Diagnosed with PP, followed-up antenatally and delivered within the same center.
  • Authorization to use anonymous patient data for research purposes.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inadequate documentation.
  • Non-compliance to antenatal care.
  • Previous 1 or more Cesarean deliveries.
  • Previous uterine surgeries that approach the uterine cavity (myomectomy).
  • Known untreated uterine septum.
  • Maternal chronic medical condition that is associated with higher risk of placental insufficiency (including chronic hypertension, pregestational diabetes, chronic renal disease, autoimmune disease).
  • Fetal major congenital anomalies.

Data Collection A standardized data collection spreadsheet is designed for this study and will be available for all participating centers. The sheet will comprise drop lists for all nominal, ordinal and binary variables to ensure consistency. Target data will include patient demographics (age, parity, gestational age at diagnosis, mode of conception, body mass index at booking and at delivery, pregnancy interval), hemoglobin at booking, past medical and surgical history, and the presence of any current complications in pregnancy. Diagnostic information including placental location, distance from internal os, the presence of other placental abnormalities as well as diagnostic modality will be collected. Follow-up from the 32-week scan and any subsequent scans will be explored and further follow-up information including hemoglobin levels, bleeding episodes, need for transfusion, administration of steroids, fetal growth, and maternal and neonatal outcomes, will be reviewed, and collected.

Data sheets will be sent on completion to the primary investigators to review and inquire on any unclear entry prior to data cleaning and data analysis.

Secondary outcomes include prediction of need for antenatal transfusion, emergency cesarean delivery, and massive postpartum hemorrhage (defined as blood loss \> 2000 ml), and neonatal admission to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of emergency cesarean section (CS)

    CS that is indicated earlier than the elective planned date (36-37 weeks of gestation) due to bleeding or preterm labor

    Measured: 22 weeks to 37 weeks of gestation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Peri-operative blood loss

    Amount of blood loss in ml during and up to 24 hours after delivery as measured by suction device and gravimetric measures

    Measured: Time between onset of cesarean section till 24 hours after the procedure

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sherif Shazly (+447554480388, admin@Mcog-obgyn.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of emergency cesarean section (CS) (time frame: 22 weeks to 37 weeks of gestation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06589180, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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 19 Sep 2024.
