PREMOM II: Pregnancy Remote Monitoring of Women with Gestational Hypertensive Disorders
PREMOM II: Pregnancy Remote Monitoring of Women with Gestational Hypertensive Disorders
The goal of this project is thoroughly evaluate the added value of telemonitoring (TM) program for women at risk for gestational hypertensive disorders (GHD), by investigating it impact on prenatal follow-up, health outcomes for mother and child, costs and satisfaction, and by specifically investigating what are the major contributors to this added value.
A substudy (CAPROM) will be conducted at the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg (ZOL) in collaboration with the Department of Physiology of Hasselt University in the framework of the Limburg Clinical Research Center (LCRC). CAPROM aims at evaluating the relationship between longitudinal (clinical) blood pressure measurements and changes in (subclinical) cardiovascular (CV) hemodynamics throughout pregnancy, as well as their responses to antihypertensive medication. To this end, CV profiling will be performed longitudinally on pregnant women at risk for developing GHD being included in the TM group of the PREMOM II study (group 1) or being followed-up via TM as part of their usual care (group 2). A separate ICF is signed for inclusion in the CAPROM substudy. The results of the CAPROM study will be performed by a researcher who is not involved in the PREMOM II main study. In addition, results of the CV profiling will not be communicated to the clinical decision makers of PREMOM II.
