Brief Summary

Purpose to evaluate the effects of intramuscular 17-Alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate (17-OHPC) for prevention of Emergent Cesarean Delivery in symptomatic Pregnant Women with Placenta Previa

Detailed Description

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

Most authors report an increased risk of bleeding with advancing gestation among women with placenta previa.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) both recommend the use of 17-OHPC to prevent recurrent spontaneous preterm birth.

Preterm deliveries account for 75% of perinatal mortality and surviving preterm infants are at risk for neurological, respiratory, and gastrointestinal complications. So, it is therefore very important to try to prolong the pregnancy without increasing the risk of emergent delivery in cases with placenta previa. The authors hypothesized that a pharmacological strategy like 17-alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone caproate may improve pregnancy outcomes and may also allow obstetricians to tailor their approach to save delayed scheduled cesarean section women with a placenta previa.

The aim of this study to evaluate the role of17-alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone caproate in the prevention of preterm cesarean delivery (CD) in cases with symptomatic placenta previa with avoids of an emergent CD which affects the maternal outcome and prevents prematurity which affects the prenatal outcome.
