What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at whether the ratio of placental thickness to fetal weight can predict serious pregnancy complications like preterm birth, low birth weight, or fetal distress. Researchers will follow 70 pregnant women between 28 and 38 weeks. If the ratio proves reliable, it could become a low-cost screening tool for high-risk pregnancies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors a simple way to spot high-risk pregnancies earlier and improve monitoring.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study with only 70 participants. The ratio may not reliably predict outcomes in broader populations.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
