NCT ID NCT06480916
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracked 101 pregnant women who were transferred between hospitals in France. Researchers wanted to see how many of these transfers were avoidable — meaning the woman could have safely stayed at the first hospital. The goal is to help hospitals make better decisions about when to transfer pregnant women.
