Fetal Adrenal Gland Volume Estimation Compared to Cervical Length Assessment in Prediction of Preterm Birth

NCT02351336 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 78

Last updated 2015-02-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

If the investigators could prove that three -dimensional ultrasound measurement of fetal adrenal gland volume can accurately predict the likelihood of preterm birth in patients having symptoms and signs of PTL , they would be able to use it as a valuable component for assessment and early management of high risk pregnant women for PTB which can be positively reflected on the risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality in those patients.

Conditions

  • Preterm Labour
