- Registration Number
- NCT04031430
- Lead Sponsor
- Hasselt University
- Brief Summary
The goal of this project is thoroughly evaluate the added value of telemonitoring (TM) program for women at risk for gestational hypertensive disorders (GHD), by investigating it impact on prenatal follow-up, health outcomes for mother and child, costs and satisfaction, and by specifically investigating what are the major contributors to this added value.
A substudy (CAPROM) will be conducted at the Department of Obstetrics \& Gynecology at Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg (ZOL) in collaboration with the Department of Physiology of Hasselt University in the framework of the Limburg Clinical Research Center (LCRC). CAPROM aims at evaluating the relationship between longitudinal (clinical) blood pressure measurements and changes in (subclinical) cardiovascular (CV) hemodynamics throughout pregnancy, as well as their responses to antihypertensive medication. To this end, CV profiling will be performed longitudinally on pregnant women at risk for developing GHD being included in the TM group of the PREMOM II study (group 1) or being followed-up via TM as part of their usual care (group 2). A separate ICF is signed for inclusion in the CAPROM substudy. The results of the CAPROM study will be performed by a researcher who is not involved in the PREMOM II main study. In addition, results of the CV profiling will not be communicated to the clinical decision makers of PREMOM II.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method stroke volume Month 3 to month 9 stroke volume (ml)
hospitalization From 32 weeks of gestation until 34 weeks of gestation Numbers of hospitalization during pregnancy (Numeric. Available by hospital details of every patient who is included in the study. From the moment of hospitalization until the moment of discharge is 1 hospitalization.
Changes in CV physiological parameters - electrocardiogram (ECT) with Doppler ultrasonography Month 3 to month 9 The CV profile assessment consists of a simple, non-invasive method using the ECG with Doppler ultrasonography providing information about arteries and veins
Gestational age (GA) Throug study completion, from the first contact with the gynaecologist (after fertilization) untill 34 weeks of gestation. difference of at least 10 days between the TM group and the CC was observed in our pilot studies, and will be used as a clinically relevant difference. An extension of the GA by even one day has a large impact on clinical outcomes for the neonate (both short- as long term). Moreover, the highest cost reductions were obtained in the group that delivered before 34 weeks of GA.
changes in CV physiological parameters - bio impedance Month 3 to month 9 The CV profile assessment consists of a simple, non-invasive method using Bio-Impedance using the Maltron® Bioscan 920-II giving information about the fluid balance.
Arterial parameters - resistivity index of the left and right arcuate arteries Month 3 to month 9 The arterial resistive index is a sonographic index of intrarenal arteries defined as (peak systolic velocity - end-diastolic velocity) / peak systolic velocity. The normal range is 0.50-0.70.
venous parameters - hepatic vein impedance index Month 3 to month 9 ECG-Doppler parameters were impedance index at the level of hepatic veins (HVI) and renal interlobar veins (RIVI) together with venous pulse transit times (VPTT), as well as resistive and pulsatility index, and arterial pulse transit time (APTT) at the level of uterine arcuate arteries.
venous parameters - left and right renal interlobar vein impedance indices Month 3 to month 9 ECG-Doppler parameters were impedance index at the level of hepatic veins (HVI) and renal interlobar veins (RIVI) together with venous pulse transit times (VPTT), as well as resistive and pulsatility index, and arterial pulse transit time (APTT) at the level of uterine arcuate arteries.
changes in CV physiological parameters - impedance cardiography Month 3 to month 9 The CV profile assessment consists of a simple, non-invasive method using Impedance Cardiography using the Non-Invasive Continuous Cardiac Output (NICCOMO) monitor registering heart parameters
Arterial parameters - pulsatility index Month 3 to month 9 Pulsatility index (PI) is defined as the difference between the peak systolic flow and minimum diastolic flow velocity, divided by the mean velocity recorded throughout the cardiac cycle. It is a non-invasive method of assessing vascular resistance with the use of Doppler ultrasonography.
venous parameters - venous pulse transit time of the hepatic and left and right renal veins Month 3 to month 9 Maternal venous pulse transit times (VPTT) weredefined as the time interval (ms) between the maternalECG P-wave and corresponding Doppler A-wave, correctedfor the duration of the corresponding cardiac cycle
systolic blood pressure Month 3 to month 9 systolic blood pressure (mmHg),
diastolic blood pressure Month 3 to month 9 diastolic blood pressure (mmHg),
