History of Changes
  Purpose

The objective of this trial will be to determine whether prophylactic low-molecular weight heparin therapy in pregnant women with the heterozygous Factor V Leiden and G20210A prothrombin gene mutations thrombophilia and a history of severe preeclampsia and/or severe fetal growth restriction reduces the risk of the composite outcome of preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, or both.


Condition Intervention Phase
Preeclampsia
 Drug: Dalteparin
 Phase 4

Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Low Molecular Weight Heparin Vs No Treatment in Pregnant Women With Previous Preeclampsia or Fetal Growth Restriction Who Were Heterozygote for Factor V Leiden or Prothrombin Gene G20210A Mutation

Detailed Description:

The objective of this trial will be to determine whether prophylactic low-molecular weight heparin therapy in pregnant women with the heterozygous Factor V Leiden and G20210A prothrombin gene mutations thrombophilia and a history of severe preeclampsia and/or severe fetal growth restriction reduces the risk of the composite outcome of preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, or both. We also will assess the effect of treatment on other indicators of maternal and neonatal complications, and the growth of fetal body composition in terms of fat and lean body mass.
