NCT02420769

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether assessing color doppler of corpus luteum and uterine artery is useful in predicting patients who will complete pregnancy. The investigators will add to this the usefulness of serum progesterone and CA125 in prediction.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Viable fetus (According to WHO viable fetus >500 gm or > 20 weeks)

    The investigators will assess how many patients in both groups reached viability of fetus. According to WHO viable fetus \>500 gm or \> 20 weeks.

    from 20 weeks till 21 weeks gestation

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Resistance index of uterine artery and corpus luteum

    from 8 weeks till 20 weeks

  • serum CA125 and progesterone

    from 8 weeks till 20 weeks gestation

Study Arms (1)

Threatened abortion

Pregnant patients \> 8 weeks gestation coming to the ANC clinic with mild vaginal bleeding but healthy viable intrauterine pregnancy. Vaginal color doppler for uterine artery and corpus luteum together with serum progesterone and CA125 will be assessed.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Pregnant females \>8 weeks but \< 20 weeks gestation. They are presenting with a complaint of threatened abortion to our outpatient ANC clinic.

You may qualify if:

  • patients with pregnancy between 8 to 20 weeks of gestation,
  • who were diagnosed with threatened abortion.

You may not qualify if:

  • patients with multiple pregnancies,
  • molar pregnancy,
  • ectopic pregnancy,
  • amenorrhea with different etiologies of pregnancy,
  • maternal history of systemic diseases and uterine anatomic abnormalities
  • patients who did not have their outcome data through week 20 of gestation due to relocation.
