The SNAPP Survey - Survey of National Antihypertensive Practices for Preeclampsia posted December 12, 2024
While the guidelines for diagnosing and delivering patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are clear, there are varying practices in the antenatal management of patients with HDP. These variations involve the usage of oral antihypertensive medications and the point at which a red line is crossed necessitating delivery. Researchers from the Maternal Fetal Medicine Division at the University of California, Irvine, are conducting the SNAPP survey to determine practice variations in the antenatal management of patients with HDP across the US. We invite all physicians with obstetric practice to participate in the survey, which will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary (and greatly appreciated for this fellow-led project!). All responses will remain anonymous. If there are any questions or concerns, please contact Ann Nguyen Pham, MD We thank you for your time and consideration!
MFM Clinician Survey of Vasa Previa Practice Patterns in the United States posted October 17, 2024
The purpose of this study is to describe maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) clinician practice patterns regarding vasa previa diagnosis and management across the United States. To our knowledge, there have been no studies assessing clinician practice patterns on this topic in the US, especially given newly debated controversies regarding the definition of vasa previa. We will administer a 5-10 minute questionnaire online via REDCap. Survey respondents can include MFM board-certified faculty or MFM fellows currently in training. The primary investigator of this study is Chiara Corbetta-Rastelli. Please contact Dr. Chiara Corbetta-Rastelli at
chiara.corbetta-rastelli@ucsf.edu if you have any questions or concerns.
