Evaluation of Platelet Function in Pregnancy With Multiple Electrode Aggregometry (MULPP)

October 10, 2013 updated by: Reinhard Hahn, Medical University of Vienna

Multiple Electrode Aggregometry and Platelet Function in Pregnancy

Establishment of a range of normal values in pregnancy with the Multiple Electrode Aggregometry (Multiplate@) device, a device that allows measurement of not only platelet count but platelet function. This has not been studied in ths special patient group. Results from this trial will be used as a basis for further investigation of abnormal platelet function in pregnancy.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change of platelet function
Time Frame: 4x, as specified below

Measurement of change of platelet function by the Multiplate® device. First measurement (baseline measurement) at enrollment into the trial. Second measurement during government-mandated gynaecological evaluation, around the 20th week of pregnancy.

Third measurement immediately prior to delivery. Last measurement one week after delivery. 2nd, 3rd and 4th measurement for assessment of change from baseline.

4x, as specified below

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Platelet-associated complications
Time Frame: 4x, as specified below (baseline, 20th week)

Record of bleeding events, preeclampsia, HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) syndrome.

Time points: at every assessment of primary outcome measure, as described above.

4x, as specified below (baseline, 20th week)
