Scientific title | Costs and effects of amniotomy at home for induction of post-term pregnancy in low-risk women: a pragmatic randomised controlled trial |
Study acronym | SERINAM |
Study objectives | We hypothesise that in low-risk women amniotomy at home for post-term pregnancy will result in more spontaneous birth (defined as labour and birth without any obstetric intervention but amniotomy) resulting in lower costs during birth. |
Ethics approval(s) | Received from the local medical ethics committee |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Pregnancy, post-term pregnancy |
Intervention | If referral for post-term pregnancy is planned within the next 24 hours, randomisation takes place: 1. The intervention group will receive amniotomy at home and expectant management of labour for 12 hours 2. The control group will be referred to an obstetrician at 294 days and receives usual standard care |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | 1. Percentage of women that will deliver without obstetric interventions besides amniotomy 2. Data of pregnancy outcome, performed management and obstetric interventions are obtained from midwives and obstetricians with a CRF designed for this study 3. Data regarding patient expectations of birth and birth management are obtained from participating women by questionnaire. This will take place in pregnancy between 292-294 days but before randomisation. 4. Data about patient satisfaction and patient costs are obtained by questionnaire within 1 month postpartum |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Proportion caesarean section and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) 2. Other obstetric interventions on maternal or foetal indication, pain relief, maternal and foetal morbidity, medical and patient costs, patient satisfaction |
