The Maternal Medicine-CSG aims to
The most high profile studies which the maternal medicine CSG has provided input into are the PITCH study (a study which will combine investigate two approaches to the management of obstetric cholestasis i.e. 1) Ursodeoxycholic acid vs placebo 2) Early vs delayed delivery) and the STAMP study (an RCT of Provastatin in women with early onset pre-eclampsia). Both are aiming for HTA funding.
Outline proposals which are currently being developed include
