简要总结
A multicenter, randomized, controlled, single blinded study to evaluate the effectiveness of Seprafilm® Adhesion Barrier in reducing adhesion formation in cesarean deliveries. Primary outcome will be measurement of the extent and severity of adhesions at the time of subsequent cesarean delivery. Secondary outcomes will include measures of safety, operative times (ex., incision-delivery; total operative time).
详细描述
Patients presenting to labor and delivery for delivery will be screened for eligibility. If a patient meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria, she will be offered enrollment in the study. After the project and informed consent are reviewed with the patient and all questions are answered, she will be asked to sign the informed consent. At this point, she will be considered a candidate for randomization.
If the patient subsequently undergoes a cesarean delivery, she will be randomized to either:
- Group A - Placement of Seprafilm® prior to abdominal closure
- Group B - Routine closure without placement of Seprafilm® The chances of being assigned to either group will be equal (i.e., 1:1 randomization). The patient will be blinded with regard to Seprafilm placement.
The investigators will collect additional data about the patient, her antepartum course, intra-operative events, and post-operative course. There are no additional tests or procedures ordered or performed during the hospital stay as part of this protocol. Enrollment in this study is not expected to alter the patient's length of stay.
The antepartum, operative, and post-operative care of the patient will as directed by the patient's physician and participating institutions's standard policies and procedures. This study in no way changes or directs the care the patient would receive, except with regard to the placement of Seprafilm® Adhesion Barrier.

结局指标
主要结局
Adhesion Score
时间窗: 3 to 5 years
Adhesion score. Derived by assigning 1 point for filmy adhesion and 2 points for dense adhesions at each of 6 possible sites in the abdomen. Thus the score can range from 0 (i.e., no adhesions at any location) to 12 (dense adhesions at each site).
Incidence of Adhesions
时间窗: 3 to 5 years
The Percentage of participants with one or more adhesions, regardless of the extent or severity
次要结局
- Post-operative Hemoglobin(1 to 5 years)
- Post-operative White Blood Cell Count(1 to 5 years)
- Post-Operative Complications(1 to 5 years)
- Post-operative Maximum Temperature Following Randomization(1 to 5 years)
- Operative Times at Subsequent Delivery(3 to 5 years)
