Enrollment
900 participants
Start Date
Apr 8, 2019
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of our study is to find out if using a simple bed side test can tell us information about changes that occur in women's body water content. We would like to check if certain medical conditions could affect body water contents.
Eligibility
Sex: FEMALEMin Age: 16 Years
Inclusion Criteria7
- Group I: Women attending for elective CS.
- Group II: Women admitted for induction of labour and expected to stay stay in hospital for more than 24 hours.
- Group III: Maternal condition that could have direct impact on body fluid including:
- Pre-eclampsia requiring hospital admission.
- Hyperemesis gravidarum requiring hospital admission.
- Major postpartum haemorrhage (equal or greater than 1000 ml following delivery).
- Group IV: gestational age matched controls.
Exclusion Criteria7
- Maternal age less than 16 years at booking.
- Women who are not capable of giving consent.
- Women with learning disabilities/difficulties.
