Registered outcomes4
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Stillbirth and Neonatal Death | 0-24hour of delivery | Compare the incidence of fresh stillbirth and neonatal death (within 24h of age) in the Pinard group (current practice) and the Doppler group (study intervention). |
| Primary | Quality of Partograms | in labour | To assess the quality of partographs using a standardized scoring system to audit overall completion and quality, and fetal heart rate monitoring specifically. The investigators will compare the audit results between partographs in the Pinard and Doppler group. |
| Secondary | Identification of Abnormal Fetal Heart Rate | In labour | Compare the incidence of identification of abnormal fetal heart rate in labour in the Pinard and Doppler group. |
| Secondary | Cesarean Delivery (Includes Cesarean Delivery/Intra-uterine Resuscitation/Assisted Delivery) | Birth | Compare the proportion of cesarean delivery between the Pinard and Doppler group. (Includes Cesarean Delivery/Intra-uterine Resuscitation/Assisted delivery) |
