The aim of this study is to study risk factors (in the field of public health and occupation as well as medical technical factors) to enable early detection of pregnant women at increased risk and to integrate these risk factors in a risk prognostic…
Part I Preclinical study using the VIRTUAL preclinical prototype Primary objective:- To validate the reliability and applicability of regular use of the VIRTUAL (pre)clinical prototype in a bed-side setting (desktop) preconceptional and across…
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…
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…
The main objective of this study is to analyse the effect of preeclampsia on levels of memory T cell subsets in peripheral blood.
Developing a risk score based on established risk factors and personality traits, to predict possible postnatal anxiety/depression with or without problems in bonding between mother and child at the first consult at the midwives practice or…
Primary Objective: To establish a prediction model for the probability of vaginal delivery and successful vacuum extraction at the second stage of labor, using the angle of progression by transperineal ultrasound. Secondary Objective(s): To evaluate…
The purpose of the sub-study is to do research into markers which will hopefully assist to diagnose the condition Peripartum Cardiomyopathy as early as possible. The blood donated for research will also assist in the assessment of women having a…
We hypothesize that formerly pre-eclamptic women have persistently increased angiotensin II sensitivity, sodium sensitivity, insulin resistance and sympathetic nerve activity together initially leading to susceptibility for early renal disease and…
1. To investigate the influence of different immunosuppressive drugs on the immune response of placental derived mononuclear cells, peripheral blood derived mononuclear cells, and cord blood derived mononuclear cells.2. To investigate the neonatal…
Primary ObjectiveDifference in incidence of an avulsion injury and morphological changes of the levator ani muscle after a first normal vaginal delivery between participants with and without a mediolateral episiotomy.Secondary ObjectiveChanges in…
Main objective of this pilot study is to investigate the placental bed histological phenotype and evaluate a scoring system for lesion characteristics of the placental bed spiral artery in pre-eclampsia and uncomplicated pregnancy. The secondary…
To design a multivariate prediction model of pregnancy outcome in women with PCOS with the intention to define intervention strategies for the future.
The purpose of the project is a) to examine evidence-based instruments (DFSI, ASQ:(SE) and ITSEA) in the Netherlands in practices of midwives and within the system of health care and b) to gain more insight into the role of specific risk- and…
The main outcome measure is the sensitivity of real-time electrohysterography for detecting contractions, using an intrauterine pressure catheter as reference. Furthermore, the accuracy of EHG will be compared to external tocodynamometry for…
The proposed study has 2 main aims: 1) Understanding the complex interplay of determinants of parenting and examining how specific parenting styles explain associations between parent characteristics (such as personality or mental and physical (ill…
1. To obtain early diagnostic and prognostic markers for preterm premature rupture of membranes and premature labour, based on ultrasound examinations of mother, placenta and fetus and markers present in blood and urine of mother at 11-14 weeks and…
To assess the effects of a screening policy for Q fever in pregnant women from areas with large numbers of Q fever cases on the pregnancy outcome and cost-effectiveness from a societal and health care perspective.
Immunodetection of Thyrothrophin (TSH) receptor in myometrium tissue.Furtermore the aim is to test myometrium tissue in vitro for it's relaxation and contractility and it's conductance of electropotentials.
To evaluate the effectivity of the electrohysterogram (EHG) by means of a tocopatch electrode compared to tocodynamometry by means of an external tocodynamometer or intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC) to monitor trial of labour (TOL) in patients…
