  • Protocol summary

    Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of selenium supplementation on metabolic profiles in pregnant women at risk for intrauterine growth restriction. Study design: Parallel double-blind (both participants and researchers) randomized controlled clinical trial. Random assignment will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers. Inclusion criteria: Pregnant women at risk for intrauterine growth restriction and aged 18 to 40 years will be included in this study. Exclusion criteria: Unwillingness to cooperate will be excluded in the study. Population and sample size: 60 pregnant women at risk for intrauterine growth restriction of eligible and referred to Naghavi Clinic affiliated to Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran in the study will be selected. Intervention: Participants will be assigned to receive either selenium supplements (intervention group: n=30) and placebo (control group: n=30). Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and after 14-wk intervention. Start and end date of intervention: 14 weeks. Outcomes: Metabolic profiles will be meseaured at study baseline and end-of-trial.

    هدف: هدف این مطالعه تعیین اثرات مکمل یاری سلنیوم بر پروفایل های متابولیک در زنان باردار در معرض خطر کاهش رشد داخل رحمی است. طراحي انجام مطالعه: تصادفي کارآزمایی بالینی دو سوکور (هم شرکت کنندگان و هم محققان) موازی. تصادفی سازی با استفاده از اعداد تصادفی ایجاد شده توسط کامپیوتر انجام خواهد شد. معیار ورود به مطالعه: زنان باردار در معرض خطر کاهش رشد داخل رحمی در محدوده سنی 18 تا 40 سال وارد مطالعه خواهند شد. معیار خروج از مطالعه: عدم تمایل به همکاری از مطالعه خارج خواهند شد. حجم نمونه و جمعیت مورد مطالعه: 60 زن باردار در معرض خطر کاهش رشد داخل رحمی واجد شرایط و ارجاع شده به کلینیک نقوی وابسته به دانشگاه علوم پزشکی کاشان، کاشان، ایران در مطالعه انتخاب خواهند شد. مداخله مورد مطالعه: شرکت کنندگان برای دریافت مکمل سلنیوم (گروه مداخله:30=n) و پلاسبو (گروه کنترل: 30=n) تقسیم خواهند شد. نمونه خون ناشتا در ابتدای مطالعه و 14 هفته بعد از مداخله از شرکت کنندگان گرفته خواهد شد. زمان مداخله: 14 هفته. پيامدها: پروفایل های متابولیک در ابتدا و انتهای مداخله اندازه گیری خواهد شد.

    To decrease potential confounding effects, all participants will have stratified randomization according to BMI and age. Then, participants in each block will be randomly allocated into two treatment groups to take either supplements or placebo. Randomization will be done by the use of Stat Trek software.

    برای کاهش اثرات مخدوش کنندگی بالقوه، همه شرکت کنندگان بر اساس نمایه توده بدنی و سن تصادفی سازی لایه ای خواهند شد. سپس، افراد در هر بلوک به طور تصادفی به دو گروه برای دریافت مکمل یاری یا پلاسبو تخصیص داده می شوند. تصادفی سازی با استفاده از نرم افزار Stat Trek انجام می شود. شرکت کنندگان و هم محققان یا ارزیابان پیامد از تخصیص گروههای مطالعه بی اطلاعند. https://stattrek.com/statistics/random-number-generator.aspx

    Randomization and allocation will be concealed from the researchers and participants until the final analyses are completed. Another person at the Naghavi Clinic, who is not involved in the trial and not aware of random sequences, will be assigned the participants to the numbered bottles of capsules. Supplements and placebo are in the same packaging at the Barij Essence pharmaceutical company. Only the code is written on the packages. Patients and researcher do not know the type of drug and after analyzing the data, packet codes are decoded.
