Brief Summary

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

It is an observational, descriptive, prospective, multicenter study of 8 maternity units in Lorraine and Champagne-Ardenne, aimed at comparing the percentage of "avoidable" maternal-fetal transfers (MFTs), defined as transfers in which the delivery finally meets the acceptance criteria of the sending maternity unit, according to the obstetrical indications for these MFTs.

Detailed Description

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

Over the past year, an audit carried out on the Mercy maternity unit, covering 130 transfers to the Nancy regional maternity hospital, showed that patients transferred for threat of premature delivery (MAP) with a cervix \> 15 mm do not give birth at the receiving maternity unit, but return home after 48 hours' hospitalization.

When maternal-fetal transfer (MFT) is requested, numerous calls are made to private ambulance services, and in the end, many emergency rapid response units (SMUR) are called out, requiring a major human, logistical and time investment for a questionable benefit to the patient. Tensions in terms of logistics (lack of ambulance, SMUR) and human resources (lack of personnel) can, conversely, compromise good care of the parturient.

Interventions

Maternal-fetal transfers

Prospective and consecutive inclusion of all maternal-fetal transfers during the study period. The teams at the sending and receiving maternity units will complete study-related questionnaires to describe the conditions of the transfer and the outcome of the pregnancy. The study in no way alters the way parturients are cared for.
