To assess if early intervention (12.0-14.0 weeks) (study group) improves the outcome of TRAP sequence as compared to late intervention (16-18 weeks) (control group).
To evaluate the efficacy of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in women with inherited thrombophilia and recurrent miscarriage on live birth.
Hypothesis: gaseous signaling molecules influence placental vasomotor activity to compensate for hypoxemia. Metabolites of these vasoactive molecules can be found in the blood and urine and can indicate whether this (compensatory) mechanism is used…
In this prospective study we aim to find out whether an early refeeding strategy in addition to standard care can improve maternal and neonatal outcome and reduce hospital stay.
The objective of the study is to determine the protein profile of cerebrospinal fluid of non-pregnant women using mass-spectrometry.This study is a follow-up project on the previously performed study (LEPRA, CSF and pre-eclampsia, MEC 2007-087). In…
First ObjectiveIn this study we compare a policy of labour induction at 41 weeks with a policy of expectant management until 42 weeks, with an outpatient check for CTG monitoring and ultrasound measurement in the 42nd week, with respect to the…
We would like to research wether there is a difference in time of mobilization between women getting iv PCA with Morphine (PCA)as opposed to women getting continuous epidural analgesia (CEA)with bupivacaine and sufentanil.We expect that the PCA will…
The aim of this study is to determine whether children between 5-17 years born to women with an autoimmune disorder and prednisone use during pregnancy have chronically elevated cortisol levels compared to children born to women with an autoimmune…
Does humoral and/or cellular rejection play a role in recurrent miscarriage of unknown etiology?Can biomarkers of humoral and/or cellular rejection be used for the detection of patients who are likely to suffer a miscarriage in a next pregnancy?
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of guided tapering in early pregnancy as compared to continuation of SSRIs during pregnancy. We will study effects on both mother and child with a pragmatic approach.
In view of this lack of evidence and strong practice variation we propose a randomized clinical trial in overweight and obese subfertile women, in which we compare the costs and effects of a six months structured lifestyle program, aimed at weight…
To investigate the effect of maternal hyperoxygenation with 100% in the second stage of labor and in the presence of abnormal fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns on fetal condition, instrumental delivery rate and free radical production. In case a…
First objective: To assess improvement in live birth rate after levothyroxine supplementation. Secondary objective: 1) to test the hypothesis that levothyroxine lowers the risk for miscarriage and preterm birth 2) to test the hypothesis that…
The primary objective is to assess feasibility of a food supplement (multispecies probiotic) placebo-controlled, randomised controlled, double blind intervention in pregnant women in their late second/third trimester of pregnancy, to reduce symptoms…
Primary objective: to determine the incidence and location of thrombi in the umbilical venous catheter route during and after umbilical catheterization and in the same route in infants without umbilical catheters. Secondary objectives:A. to…
To investigate whether bright light therapy is an effective treatment for depression during pregnancy compared with low-intensity placebo light therapy (proof-of-principle) and to investigate the late effects of bright light therapy versus placebo…
The next questions will be addressed in the present study: 1. Do moderately preterm infants differ in development and attention and concentration capacities from a term and very preterm infants during the first years of life? 2. Do attention and…
To determine whether administration of exogenous surfactant using a minimally-invasive technique improves outcome in preterm infants 25-28 weeks gestation treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
Th**is study will compare sequential mifepristone and misoprostol (*M&M*) treatment versus misoprostol treatment alone, which is currently the standard medical treatment in the Netherlands.
Primary Objective: To assess the hemodynamical effects of administration of AS in FGR fetuses and to compare these effects with those that occur in appropriate for gestational age (AGA) fetuses. Secondary Objective(s): To investigate the effect of…
