Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Two groups will be recruited. The first group are pregnant ladies that have unequivocal rupture of fetal membranes that is diagnosed by seeing the amniotic fluid leakage in the vagina. The second group are normal pregnant ladies without rupture of membranes. both groups will be tested by taking vaginal washing fluid. Quantitative and qualitative pregnancy tests will be measured in this fluid.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin assay will be measured in the vaginal washing in two groups. The first group are pregnant women in the second or third trimester. These women have definite rupture of membranes diagnosed by visual leaking of the amniotic fluid from the cervix during speculum examination. The second group are pregnant women with intact membranes. Assessment of both the qualitative and quantitative beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin will be done

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Rupture of membranes group

Pregnant women with definite rupture of membranes will undergo speculum examination. Vaginal washing will be done. The washing fluid will be taken for quantitative and qualitative assessment of beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

assessment of beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Intact membranes group

Pregnant women with intact membranes will undergo speculum examination. Vaginal washing will be done. The washing fluid will be taken for quantitative and qualitative assessment of beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin.
