Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of routine third trimester ultrasound screening for intrauterine growth restriction : study protocol of a nationwide stepped wedge cluster-randomized trial in The Netherlands (The IRIS Study)
Background: Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is a major risk factor for perinatal mortality and morbidity. Thus, there is a compelling need to introduce sensitive measures to detect IUGR fetuses. Routine third trimester ultrasonography is increasingly used to detect IUGR. However, we lack evidence for its clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness and information on ethical considerations of additional third trimester ultrasonography. This nationwide stepped wedge cluster-randomized trial examines the (cost-)effectiveness of routine third trimester ultrasonography in reducing severe a... Mehr ...
