This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.
After preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM)\[breaking of the amniotic sac prior to 37 weeks gestation in pregnancy\], patients are recommended for inpatient admission and close monitoring for complications including preterm labor, intraamniotic infection (infection of the sac around the baby), and placental abruption (separation of the placenta from wall of the uterus). When evaluation of cervical dilation is clinically indicated, obstetricians traditionally perform sterile speculum exams due to concern for decrease in pregnancy latency (length of time between breaking the water and delivery) with sterile digital exams in retrospective studies. These studies are concerning, however, by the indications for the exams and are at risk for confounding by indication. This is a randomized, non-inferiority trial to examine if sterile digital versus speculum exams effect latency of pregnancy in patients with PPROM.
Digital Versus Speculum Exams in Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membranes: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
