Registration Number
NCT02635412

Brief Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial to investigate the optimal timing of delivery in clinically stable women with a suspected morbidly adherent placenta.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized controlled trial to investigate the optimal timing of delivery in clinically stable women with a suspected morbidly adherent placenta dispositioned for a scheduled delivery. The primary outcome will be assessed by comparing the composite neonatal morbidity and composite maternal morbidity between the two groups (delivery at 34 versus 36 weeks gestational age).
