Study summary

The primary purpose of the study is to characterize the current standard of care, clinical course, and outcomes of pregnant women and their offspring at high risk for early onset severe hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (EOS-HDFN).

Read the detailed description

The outcomes of interest will be assessed from the information collected on the standard of care treatment for EOS-HDFN in pregnant women and their offspring from current pregnancy.

Study population

Participants must have an obstetrical history of severe fetal anemia, hydrops, or stillbirth related to hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn, have alloantibody titers for anti-D ≥32 or anti-Kell titers ≥4, and be currently pregnant with an antigen-positive fetus. Eligible women may enter the study at any time during the current pregnancy prior to delivery.
