About this trial

The ASPIR study aims to evaluate the cost-utility of outpatient manual vacuum aspiration compared with operating room electric aspiration for the management of first-trimester miscarriage. It is hypothesized that manual aspiration will demonstrate equivalent clinical efficacy and patient quality of life while reducing healthcare costs.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Female, aged 18-44 years

Ultrasound-confirmed first-trimester miscarriage requiring surgical management

Gestational age between 5 and 12 weeks of amenorrhea

Incomplete spontaneous abortion or ongoing non-viable pregnancy

Disqualifiers

Complete expulsion of pregnancy (endometrial thickness < 15 mm)

Choice of medical treatment with misoprostol

Elective termination of pregnancy

Unwanted pregnancy

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA)

    Procedure/Surgery

    Performed in consultation under local anesthesia and inhaled analgesia, using a manual vacuum aspirator and appropriate cannula. Post-procedure pelvic ultrasound to confirm complete evacuation.

  • Electric aspiration (EA)

    Procedure/Surgery

    Performed in the operating room under general or regional anesthesia, using an electric suction device and appropriate cannula. Post-procedure pelvic ultrasound to confirm complete evacuation.

Treatment groups

860 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA)Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Electric aspiration in the operating room under general or regional anesthesia. Electric aspirationActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR)

Incremental cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained of outpatient MVA compared to operating room EA, from a collective perspective.

Time frame
3 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Annual net financial benefit for health insurance over up to 5 years of different development scenarios for manual vacuum aspiration in consultation for the management of pregnancies terminated before 12 weeks of gestation

Annual net financial benefit for health insurance over up to 5 years of different development scenarios for manual vacuum aspiration in consultation for the management of pregnancies terminated before 12 weeks of gestation

Time frame
up to 5 years
2

To compare the two management strategies in terms of success and intraoperative and postoperative complications

To compare the two management strategies in terms of success and intraoperative and postoperative complications * 2.1 Management failure defined by the need for second-line treatment (aspiration, misoprostol, etc.) * 2.2 Intraoperative complications: change of strategy, bleeding greater than 200 ml, uterine perforation, etc., and all possible complications classified according to the Clavien and Dindo criteria * 2.3 Trophoblastic retention image defined by retention (heterogeneous intrauterine mass independent of the endometrium) greater than 20 mm thick on transvaginal ultrasound at M1.

Time frame
1 month
3

To assess patient satisfaction

To assess patient satisfaction: A numerical scale (NS) (0-10) on Days 1 and 2.

Time frame
day 1 and 2
4

To compare the two strategies (electric suction versus manual vacuum kit suction)

To compare the two strategies (electric suction versus manual vacuum kit suction), measurement of: ●Pain via NS (a scale from 0 to 10) on Day 0 (before the procedure, 30 min after the procedure +/- 30 min), Days 1, 7, 1, and 3

Time frame
days 0, 1,7 and 1 and 3 months
