METHODS: A reanalysis of a double-blind, sham-controlled, randomised clinical trial.
METHODS: A single, tertiary-level centre in Accra, Ghana.
METHODS: Two-hundred participants entered, 181 completed and 167 were included in the final analysis. Participants were Ghanaian, healthy, aged 18-35 years, with low-risk, singleton pregnancies in their third-trimester, with Body Mass Index<35 kg/m2 at the first antenatal appointment for the index pregnancy and without known fetal abnormalities, pregnancy complications or medical conditions complicating sleep.
METHODS: Participants were randomised to receive treatment with either a PT or sham-PT device.
METHODS: The primary outcome was the CBWC using the latest Perinatal Institute, Gestation-Related Optimal Weight calculator. Using Bayesian methods, posterior probabilities of achieving a greater than 0%, 5% and 10% benefit in CBWC with PT were estimated. There was no secondary outcome.
RESULTS: The median (IQR) CBWC was 42% (15-71) and 28% (9-52) in the PT and sham-PT groups, respectively (difference 8.4%; 95% CI -0.30 to 18.2; p=0.06). For achieving a >0%, >5% and >10% gain in CBWC with PT, the posterior probabilities were highly probable, probable and unlikely, respectively, given a range of prior probabilities reflecting varying degrees of pre-existing enthusiasm and scepticism.
CONCLUSIONS: Maternal nightly PT throughout the third-trimester did not have a statistically significant effect on CBWC on a frequentist analysis using the latest fetal growth standard. However, from a Bayesian analysis, clinicians can infer that PT is likely to benefit fetal growth but with a modest effect size.
BACKGROUND: NCT02379728.
方法:对双盲,假控制,随机临床试验。
方法:单,阿克拉的三级中心,加纳。
方法:两百名参与者输入,181个完成,167个被包括在最终分析中。参与者是加纳人,健康,18-35岁,低风险,妊娠晚期的单胎妊娠,体重指数<35kg/m2在第一次产前预约指数妊娠,没有已知的胎儿异常,妊娠并发症或使睡眠复杂化的医疗条件。
方法:参与者随机接受PT或假PT装置治疗。
方法:主要结局是使用最新的围产期研究所进行的CBWC,与妊娠相关的最佳体重计算器。使用贝叶斯方法,实现大于0%的后验概率,估计有PT的CBWC的5%和10%的益处。没有次要结果。
结果:在PT和假PT组中,中位数(IQR)CBWC为42%(15-71)和28%(9-52),分别(差异8.4%;95%CI-0.30至18.2;p=0.06)。为了实现>0%,>5%和>10%的CBWC增益与PT,后验概率很可能,可能而且不太可能,分别,给定一系列先验概率,反映了不同程度的预先存在的热情和怀疑。
结论:在使用最新胎儿生长标准的频率分析中,整个孕晚期的母亲夜间PT对CBWC没有统计学上的显着影响。然而,根据贝叶斯分析,临床医生可以推断PT可能有利于胎儿生长,但效应大小适中.
