NCT06664112

Brief Summary

Aims: Primary aim is to investigate outcomes of eutocic labor, evaluating intrapartum ultrasound parameters by AIDA method: Angle of progression (AoP), Asynclitism degree (AD), fetal head-symphysis distance (HSD), and midline angle (MLA). Secondary aim is to investigate outcomes of dystocic labor, evaluating intrapartum ultrasound parameters by AIDA method: Angle of progression (AoP), Asynclitism degree (AD), fetal head-symphysis distance (HSD), and midline angle (MLA). Tertiary aim is to investigate of neonatal outcomes of eutocic labor: Apgar scores at 1 min, Apgar scores at 5 min. Quaternary aim is to investigate of neonatal outcomes of dystocic labor: Apgar scores at 1 min, Apgar scores at 5 min.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64)
Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

All healthy pregnants, at first pregnancy, in spontaneous or induced labor will be enrolled for the study, in order to better understand the outcomes of labor, monitored by intrapartum ultrasound parameters of labor assessed by AIDA method. The study will be conducted as observational study including pregnants in labor. In the collecting center, one person will be in charge for data collection and filling the SPSS database. As the study is observational and all the procedures will be conducted according to the local practice, all patients will sign an informed consent. Following data collection and termination of the study, a single researcher will oversee the SPSS data collection for all the participating centers, checking the quality of data and submitting it for statistical analysis.

You may qualify if:

  • All patients in pregnancy, nulliparae, candidates for spontaneous or induced labor, monitored by intrapartum ultrasound, collecting the ultrasound parameters of the labor progress.
  • pregnants in labor, at first pregnancy
  • gestational age ≥37 weeks of gestation

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who are candidates for cesarean section.
  • Patients in premature labor.
  • Patients who do not agree to participate in the study.
  • Missing data relevant for the study.
