Funded Activity Summary

A lack of oxygen to a baby after the onset of labour (i.e. fetal distress) in an otherwise healthy pregnancy is one of the top three causes of death in singleton pregnancies after 37 weeks. Our previous research has shown that a late pregnancy ultrasound scan combined with a blood test from the mother measuring the levels of a placental hormone can potentially identify pregnancies at risk. We aim to assess the value of this screening test at a major tertiary hospital.
