Fonseca et al 2007: study question?
does progesterone reduce the risk of PTB <34/40 in asymptomatic women found to have cervical shortening in mid trimester?
Describe participants of Fonesca 2007 trial
24,620 women. Singleton and Twins. CVL 20-25w. 413 CVL <15mm.
With or without history of PTB. Excluded if major anomalies, ROM, cerclage in situ.
Intervention of Fonseca et al 2007?
progesterone pessary 24w-33+6w 200mg nocte
Rates of PTB <34w in progesterone vs. placebo group in Fonesca et al 2007?
prog = 19% placebo = 43%
aOR 0.56(0.32-0.92) p0.02
Study question for Fonesca et al 2003?
What is the effect of prophylactic vaginal progesterone in reducing PTB in a high risk population?
Study population Fonesca et al 2003?
157 asymptomatic singletons.
Previous sPTB, prophylactic cerclage, uterine malformation.
excluded multiples, anomalies, PPROM.
Intervention Fonesca et al 2003?
progesterone 100mg from 24 weeks until 34 weeks vs. placebo.
Results Fonesca 2003?
PTB 13.8% vs. 28.5%
<34/40 2.8% vs. 18.8%
Truffle trial study question?
When to deliver
- fetal ductus venosus changes (>95th or no-a wave)
- STV
Normal STV in truffle for <29/40, >29/40?
<29 = 3.5 >29 = 4
Three randomisation groups in truffle trial?
- CTG STV abnormal
- DV PI >95 centile
- DV a-wave absent or reversed.
GA and characteristics of gestations in truffle trial?
511 pregnancies
between 26-32 weeks at randomisation
EFW >500g, DV doppler normal, CTG STV normal.
Fetal growth restriction
42% UAPI EDF absent or reversed. All UAPI >95th.
Results Truffle trial?
- 2y no impairment 85% (DV no a), 84% (DV >95), 77% (STV)
- Impairment 5% (DV no a), 9% (DV p95), 15% (STV)
DV no a = better cognitive composite score, vocabulary, 0% cerebral palsy (vs. 4% STV).
Cochrane review on magnesium for PET 2010. Describe trials included.
15 trials
- 6 compared IM or IV MgSO4 with placebo or nil
- 4 compared IM or IV MgSO4 with phenytoin, diazepam, nimodipine, isosorbide
- 1 compared MgCl with methyldopa
Cochrane review MgSO4 in PET. Findings?
Maternal
death= NS reduction 46%
eclampsia RR 0.41. SS. NNT 100
abruption RR 0.64 SS.
SE of flushing, hypotension, headache NNTH 6.
No difference in SCBU, GA, death, RDS for babies.
MAGPIE Question?
do women and babies with PET benefit from MgSO4?
MAGPIE population?
10,141 women. PET (HTN and proteinuria). Antenatal or <24hrs PP.
Intervention Magpie trial?
Placebo (saline)vs.
MgSO4: loading 4g 10-15min, maintenance 1g/hr
Outcomes magpie trial?
Eclampsia RR0.42 SS. NNT 91
Abruption 12/1000 women fewer. SS.
No significant findings for maternal death, or neonatal mortality or morbidity.
Doyle et al Meta Analysis of Magnesium sulphate investigated what?
safety and effectiveness of MgSO4 as Neuroprotection for PTB
Describe studies included in Doyle et al meta analysis.
5 trials
- ACTOMgSO4 (ANZ)
- Magnet (US)
- Rouse (US)
- Premag (France)
- MAGPIE (Int)
6145 babies total. PET 15%, PPROM 10-88%
50% had steroids
Outcomes Doyle et al?
MgSO4 for PTB reduces cerebral palsy (0.68) or significant motor dysfunction (0.61)
no effect on mortality.
CLASP trial question?
what is the effect of LDA for those at risk of PET or IUGR?
Intervention of CLASP?
placebo or aspirin from 12 weeks (60mg)
However some received prophylaxis, and some were started on aspirin once PET/IUGR diagnosed.
Findings CLASP?
Reduced preterm delivery <37 weeks
no change to PET or IUGR. However trend noted.
inclusion of treatment group + average GA for prophylaxis at 18w likely reduced effect.
Betamethasone and elective caesarean section 2005 RCT question?
Do steroids reduce RDS in babies born elLSCS at term?
Population term CS betamethasone 2005 trial?
998 women, singleton pregnancies
LSCS after 37 weeks
no blinding
Outcome of term CS betamethasone 2005?
SCBU admission RDS= RR 0.46 SS
37w= 11.4% vs 5.2% 38w = 6.2% vs 2.8% 39w = 1.5% vs 0.6%
