The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of sterile or clean gloves during labor exams affects the rate of chorioamnionitis. Chorioamnionitis is an infection of the membranes around the baby.
The importance of this study is that intrapartum vaginal exams (while patients are laboring) are performed routinely in modern obstetrical practice, and there is no randomized trial available assessing the relationship between the type of glove used and the rate of chorioamnionitis.
39 studies on the registry are indexed under Chorioamnionitis; 9 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 507 is above the median of 157 across 22 interventional studies indexed under Chorioamnionitis.
