Egypt130 participantsStarted 2020-05-01

Plain-language summary

aims to determine the accuracy of measurement of the LUS thickness by trans-abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound at term pregnancy in comparison to the actual thickness of LUS measured with manual caliper measurement during cesarean delivery. Study hypothesis: In women with previous cesarean delivery, determination of the LUS thickness can be done by trans-abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound at term pregnancy and compared to the actual thickness of LUS measured with a manual caliper at cesarean delivery. Study question: considering transabdominal \& transvaginal ultrasound, which of them would be more accurate in the assessment of LUS thickness?

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age (20:40 years old). * Women at term (37:40 weeks). * With singleton pregnancy. * Presenting by vertex (cephalic presentation). * Having adequate liquor. * Previous delivered by cesarean delivery one time. Exclusion Criteria: * Fetal malformations, e.g fetal hydrops. * Uterine malformations, e.g bicornuate uterus. * Placental malformations, e.g placenta praevia, placenta accrete. * Uterine surgery is other than a cesarean, e.g myomectomy. * Women in labor (painful, regular uterine contractions, cervical dilatation, tender scar, and discomfort is not stopped by sedation). * Obese patients (BMI \>30 kg/m2)

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
