Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Part I Preclinical study using the VIRTUAL preclinical prototype Intra- and inter-observer agreement of the measurement of the indices of placental vascularization. The indices measured are the following: - Preconception uterine vascular bed: Volume of endometrial vasculature (VEV) Total volume of vasculature (TVV) Uterine artery (left and right) pulsatility and resistance - Placental vascularization: Placental Bed vasculature Volume (PVBV) Fetal vascular volume (FVV) Total volume of vasculature (TVV) Uterine artery (left and right) pulsatility and resistance Part II Clinical study using the VIRTUAL clinical prototype Indices of the preconception uterine vascular bed (PREC) and indices of placental vascularization (PREG) measured by the VIRTUAL clinical prototype. The indices measured are the following: - Preconception uterine vascular bed: Volume of endometrial vasculature (VEV) Total volume of vasculature (TVV) Uterine artery (left and right) pulsatility and resistance - Placental vascularization: Placental Bed vasculature Volume (PVBV) Foetal vascular volume (FVV) Total volume of vasculature (TVV) Uterine artery (left and right) pulsatility and resistance | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The relationship between the indices of the preconception uterine vascular bed (PREC) together with the indices of placental vascularization (PREG): a) Maternal biomarkers (blood) b) (Pre)clinical outcomes (embryonic and fetal (head) growth trajectories,miscarriage, preeclampsia, gestational age at delivery, and birth weight) c) Maternal conditions and lifestyle (medication use, intoxications, infections, physical activity, working activities, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, nutrition, smoking, alcohol and folic acid supplement use) | — |
