What this trial studies
This research aims to create a repository of ultrasonographic images and medical data from pregnant women who have been referred for high-risk pregnancies due to fetal anomalies. Participants will have their data collected during obstetrical clinic visits at Regional One Health and the Le Bonheur Fetal Center, with follow-up data collection extending into the postpartum period and up to six months for the child if necessary. The study focuses on gathering comprehensive information to better understand and manage congenital abnormalities.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are pregnant women aged 18 to 50 who are referred for high-risk pregnancies due to fetal anomalies.
Not a fit: Patients who are not pregnant or do not have fetuses with anomalies will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of fetal anomalies and improve care for affected pregnancies and infants.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies focusing on fetal anomalies and data collection have shown promise, but this specific approach may offer novel insights.
