Maternal positional therapy for fetal growth and customised birth weight centile benefit in a Bayesian reanalysis of a double-blind, sham-controlled, randomised clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To update the Ghana PrenaBelt Trial's (GPT) primary outcome data with the latest fetal growth standard and reanalyse it. To estimate the posterior probability, under various clinically relevant prior probabilities, of maternal nightly positional therapy (PT) throughout the third-trimester having a beneficial effect on customised birth weight centile (CBWC) using Bayesian analyses.

Design

A reanalysis of a double-blind, sham-controlled, randomised clinical trial.

Setting

A single, tertiary-level centre in Accra, Ghana.

Participants

Two-hundred participants entered, 181 completed and 167 were included in the final analysis. Participants were Ghanaian, healthy, aged 18-35 years, with low-risk, singleton pregnancies in their third-trimester, with Body Ma
