Trial Outcomes & Findings for Treatment Utility of Postpartum Antibiotics in Chorioamnionitis (NCT NCT01585129)

NCT ID: NCT01585129

Last Updated: 2018-06-19

Results Overview

Endometritis is defined as uterine infection and is diagnosed by maternal temp \> 38.0C on two occasions over a 4 hour period or any temp \> 39.0C after delivery \> 12 hours after delivery. Endometritis will be managed per currently accepted endometritis protocol - (Amp 2 gQ6, Gentamicin 5 mg/kg q24, Clindamycin 900 mg q8).

Measure
Postpartum Antibiotics
Patients will receive one additional dose of postpartum antibiotics (Clinda, Gentamicin) Postpartum Antibiotics: Patients randomized into this arm will receive one additional dose of gentamicin (1.5 mg/kg) and clindamycin (900mg) in the postpartum setting.
No Postpartum Antibiotics
No further postpartum antibiotics No postpartum antibiotics: Patients randomized into this arm will not receive any postpartum antibiotics after delivery. They will be managed identically to the other arm in terms of chorioamnionitis (fever pre-delivery). The groups will be managed identically if endometritis (post-partum fever) develops.
