Mother Sibling Interactions Following Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) Infant Homecoming

Very Low Birthweight

The proposed study will explore longitudinally the impact of a very low birthweight (VLBW) infant on mother-sibling interactions and sibling adjustment. The study will also include a comparison group of fullterm infants to determine which sibling adjustment problems are typical of having a new baby in the home and which are associated with the unique stress of having a VLBW infant. This study will be the initial step in identifying factors affecting the adjustment of siblings of VLBW infants.

Effect of Saccharomyces Boulardii on Indirect Hyperbilirubinemia and Phototherapy Duration in Very...

Indirect Hyperbilirubinemia

Indirect hyperbilirubinemia is frequently observed in premature infants.Probiotics are favorable microorganisms that regulate the flora of the gastrointestinal system. In this study we aimed to compare the effect of S. boulardii on severity of hyperbilirubinemia and duration of phototherapy on very low birth weight infants.

Trial Comparing Iron Supplementation Versus Routine Iron Intake in Very Low Birth Weight Infants...

Iron Deficiency Anemia

In preterm infants with birth weights less than 1500 grams, does iron supplementation with 2mg/kg/day in addition to routine feeding with routine iron-fortified milk (formula or fortified mother's milk), as compared to routine iron fortified milk, increase hematocrit at 36 weeks adjusted postmenstrual age (or at discharge if sooner)?

Inflammatory Cytokines Associated With Perinatal Brain Injury

InfantNewborn7 more

This observational study assessed whether measurements of certain pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the blood (either singly or in combination) at birth and/or up to day of life 21 can predict cerebral palsy at 18-22 months corrected age.

A Study on the Effects of Feeding and Feeding Methods on Breathing Pattern in Very Low Birth Weight...

InfantPremature1 more

In this study, we want to see how feeding affects breathing in small premature babies. Using a special feeding tube in the stomach, we can measure how the diaphragm (a large breathing muscle) might be affected by feeding. We also want to see if slowing down the feeding may lessen this effect.

OptiMoM Grows Up: 5.5-year Follow-up of the OptiMoM Fortifier Study

InfantVery Low Birth Weight

In Canada, the leading cause of long-term disability in children is being born at very low birth weight (VLBW). To help improve outcomes, nutrition is a modifiable aspect of infant care. Mother's milk is the optimal way to feed VLBW infants; however, many need a supplement of donor milk or preterm formula as not enough mother's milk is available. As the ideal supplement for prolonged feeding and its long-term effects is currently unknown, this study is a prospective follow-up of infants born VLBW who were fed mother's own milk or pasteurized donor breastmilk nutrient enriched with a human milk-based fortifier or a bovine protein-based fortifier. Intakes of donor milk, fortifier type, macronutrients and fatty acids will be explored. Areas of development to be assessed include: cognition, language, motor skills, and body composition. This study will also cross-sectionally examine aspects of eating behaviours, food parenting and the home environment (e.g., stress, home chaos, family functioning) with a term-born comparison. A DNA biorepository will also be created.

IgM-Enriched Immunoglobulin for Neonatal Sepsis

Neonatal SepsisEarly-Onset5 more

This study compares giving prophylactic IgM enriched Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) with placebo in 1 hour after birth, in neonates with risk factors of Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis (EONS). In addition to the intervention, standard regimen antibiotics are also given within 1 hour. The IVIG is given for 3 days and primary and secondary outcomes will be collected. Risk factors are both from maternal and neonate origin.
