Data collection arrangements
We are only collecting anonymised data, which will be collected and stored on the
secure online software, OMDA MedSciNet. Data will be stored onto secure, encrypted servers in Sweden, which are GDPR compliant and have secure remote backup.All participants will be recorded under a unique study identification number and their data will be held in-line with the Data Protection Act. Access to raw data will be limited to administrator access only (CI and PI). The ultrasound images and short video will be de-identified by the submitting collaborator.
All collaborators contributing to the platform will be required to have approval from their local ethics committee (if applicable) or relevant hospital/university representative allowing them to collect and share data internationally (if required according to local policies). The data in this study will only be accessible to appropriate authorities and personnel for monitoring, audit or regulatory inspection. The data will not be identifiable from either the final report or any published data.
The site file, including all printed and written materials will be stored in a locked cabinet, stored in Clinic 3, Lower Ground Floor, EGA Wing, UCLH, 235 Euston Road, London, NW1 2BU.
Research programme
Intramural pregnancy (IMP) is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy and therefore there is little published literature evaluating diagnosis and treatment of this condition. The studies that have been published are generally of poor quality. It is therefore challenging to develop evidence based diagnostic or treatment guidelines for IMP, which are urgently needed given the associated significant maternal morbidity associated with misdiagnosis and management of this condition. We propose to develop an International registry to collect as many cases of IMP as possible, initially over a 5-year period. This will then enable synthesis of large numbers of anonymised cases of IMP, which will generate high-quality evidence to develop standardised diagnostic criteria and evidence-based treatment protocols for IMP and will ultimately improve patient outcomes and safety.
