Active clinical trials for "Premature Birth"

This study is part of the PreCo study, evaluating Dutch care in (imminent) extreme preterm birth including current and preferred counseling, barriers and facilitators for preferred counseling from both obstetricians and neonatologists, as well as parents' views on this. Since 2010, intensive care can be offered in the Netherlands at 24+0 weeks gestation (with parental consent) but as some international guidelines, the Dutch guideline lacks detailed recommendations on organization, content and preferred decision-making of the counseling.

The purpose of this study is to explore the perinatal risk factors of encephalopathy of prematurity and the morbidity of the following neurodevelopmental impairments in preterm infants with gestational age <32 weeks in China.

The study includes preterm infants who are being screened for ROP between April 1,2016 and April 30, 2017 in 69 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Turkey. Infants with birth weight (BW) of ≤1500 g or ≤32 weeks' gestation and those with a BW of greater than 1500 g or gestational age (GA) >32 weeks with an unstable clinical course are included. The incidence of any ROP, severe ROP and treatment modalities will be determined. The risk factors for ROP development will also be evaluated.

Preterm children have a high risk for neurodevelopmental impairments. The impact on motor functions and neurosensory functions is demonstrated but the incidence of executive functions is not described for preterm infants.

This was a retrospective study sharing the experience of women high risk for spontaneous preterm birth managed by Arabin pessary.

premature infants who had a history of intravitreal injection of (Ranibizumab) not less than one year were examined for refractive state and biometry

A prospective observational study of the incidence of treatment-requiring ROP (TR-ROP), at a national level, in Greece.

The objective of this study is to monitor heart rate variability in preterm infants receiving respiratory support, including conventional mechanical ventilation, during skin-to-skin care. We hypothesize that skin to skin care will be associated with a more mature pattern of parasympathetic activity as measured by various domains of heart rate variability. Specifically, the standard deviation of the normal-to-normal interval (SDNN), the root mean squared of successive differences of normal-to-normal intervals (RMSDD), and the standard deviation of deceleration (SDDec) will decrease in infants that are receiving skin-to-skin care across all types of respiratory support compared to infants who are lying in their isolette.

Care practices, mortality and morbidity of very premature infants from two different tertiary centers were collected and compared, in order to discover areas for improvement where these two newborn centers can learn from each other.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between superior vena cava (SVC) flow measurements within the first 24 hours of life and development of intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm born infants.
