Very proud to share the results of our CRADLE-4 Trial: for women with pre-eclampsia, planned delivery from 34 weeks significantly reduces stillbirth & severe maternal HTN; a critical intervention to save lives in low & lower-middle income countries

Pre-eclampsia is a leading cause of pregnancy related AKI and both are independently associated with maternal mortality and longer term risk of kidney disease! Please help us to address this neglected and urgent problem by completing and sharing our global survey!
Calling ALL #midwives #nurses #obstetricians #nephrologists! Please do your part to work to reduce the #maternalmortality rate from #PrAKI by completing this short survey shorturl.at/cUgy9
"Trust-Translation-Timing" Delighted to see this paper published - a novel approach to expediting evidence to impact in Zambia & Sierra Leone, based on CRADLE-3 & CRADLE-4 Trials, improving detection & management of pre-eclampsia with communities affected rdcu.be/d55DS

Highly recommend this episode - my take home points were: (1) the horrifying number of women with HG who experience suicidal ideation - nearly 7% (2) not being afraid to prescribe ondansetron (3) empowering primary care colleagues and all following the same guideline!
Thank you Florence for inviting us to record this HG podcast
✅ what causes HG?
✅ how does HG affect physical and mental health
✅ update on @RCObsGyn guideline

🩸A single plgf-based test to rule in/out suspected pre-eclampsia ✅
🦜-2 Trial shows no benefit to repeat testing, providing critical new evidence to inform our clinical practice!

📣IMPORTANT STUDY ‼️
A single PlGF test is useful when pre-eclampsia is suspected.
This RCT (22 UK hospitals) looks at REPEAT testing:
- high test performance for needing delivery < 14d for but…
- no reduction in severe adverse outcomes

Check out our short film which tells the story of planned early birth for late preterm pre-eclampsia and why it matters 👩🏽🍼 @KingsGHI
This short 10 minute film demonstrates why we should consider routine delivery from 34 weeks in all women with pre-eclampsia. @The_MRC @kingsmedicine . #CRADLE4. @alicebgray eur03.safelinks.protection.o…
Over the moon to have been awarded 1st Place in the Harold Malkin Prize by @RCObsGyn for the CRADLE-4 Trial showing planned early birth for pre-eclampsia from 34wks in LMICs reduces stillbirth - phenomenal team work and delighted to shine a spotlight on global maternal health!

As an avid follower of JCOTR, I'm delighted to see our CRADLE-4 Trial featured in the latest edition! Check it out below! ⬇️
🚨 Spoiler alert - the safest place for the baby in late preterm pre-eclampsia - is in the cradle 🤱
STOP PRESS! The latest edition of Mercy Perinatal’s Journal Club on the Run has just hit your inbox! This edition includes:
🏃♀️ A randomised trial of planned birth or expectant management for late preterm preeclampsia (with a plot twist!)
🏃♀️ The second paper explores the enticing possibility that valacyclovir may reduce vertical transmission of congenital CMV.
🏃♀️Is this early oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) actually necessary? The third paper answers exactly this.
(Perfect reading before the soccer! Go Tillies! 💛💚🇦🇺)

Beautiful example of how simple interventions can make the biggest difference, and why reducing poverty and inequality is more important than high-cost, high-tech, solutions!

“This study provides important information for parents and clinicians in LMICs making decisions about the timing of birth in late preterm pre-eclampsia.”

Loved reading this. PN care & interventions🔑to ⬇️ long-term mortality; And not just HIV/TB - 🤰affected by pre-eclampsia face 2⃣ x risk of stroke and 4⃣ x risk of Chronic HTN; LIC and LMIC account for 86% of early deaths due to NCDs. Maternal health matters beyond 42 days....
