Welcome
Welcome to the ABOVE Trial website!
(TESTING)
The ABOVE trial is a study to find out if a cerclage (stitch) placed vaginally or abdominally is better in those who have had a preterm birth (delivery before 37 weeks of pregnancy) or mid-trimester loss (a loss between 14 and 24 weeks of pregnancy) after a previous caesarean section in labour.
The full name of the study is 'Cerclage after Caesarean: a randomised controlled trial to assess the optimal preventative management for preterm birth secondary to caesarean section damage'; it is ABOVE for short.
