Comparison of Microplastic Levels in Placenta and Cord Blood Samples of Pregnant Women With Fetal Growth Retardation and Healthy Pregnant Women

• Conditions: Microplastic Levels in Placenta and Cord Blood
• Interventions: Other: Analyzing of microplastic level

• Registration Number: NCT05070715
• Lead Sponsor: Kutahya Health Sciences University

Brief Summary

In this study, microplastic levels in the placenta and cord blood of pregnant women with fetal growth retardation and healthy pregnant women will be compared in placenta and cord blood samples after delivery.

Detailed Description

The study will be conducted with a total of 40 pregnant women, 20 of whom are in the control groups and those with FGR diagnoses. Cases in both groups will be matched in terms of demographic information. Demographic information (including socioeconomic status, educational level, region of residence), ultrasound and Doppler examination results, newborn weight at birth, APGAR score, gender, mode of delivery, whether there is a need for neonatal intensive care or not will be recorded.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Group 1: FGR group	Analyzing of microplastic level	Estimated fetal weight \<10th percentile
Group 2: Control group	Analyzing of microplastic level	Healthy pregnants who will give birth 37th and after gestational week

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Analyzing of microplastic levels in the placenta and cord blood of pregnant women	1 year	Microplastic levels in pregnant women's placenta and cord blood will be measured in placenta and cord blood samples after delivery.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Investigation of the effect of microplastic level in placenta and cord blood on FGR	1 month	If there is a significant difference in other data, including the microplastic level, in the FGR group, the effect of each factor on the development of FGR will be analyzed by multi logistic regression analysis. In addition, if the microplastic level is found to be significantly higher in the FGR group, the cut-off value will be obtained by ROC analysis.
