Clinical Trial Summary

Repeated transfusions have been associated with very poor outcome of preterm infants. Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and adult Hb (HbA) have different affinity for oxygen. The high level of adult Hb may contribute to exacerbating the oxidative damage responsible for prematurity diseases. The investigators hypothesized that transfusing red blood cells (RBC) obtained from allogeneic cord blood (CB) of healthy full-term babies (which contains almost exclusively HbF) may prevent the non-physiological decrease of HbF in premature neonates, likewise protecting them from oxygen radical diseases. Cord blood transfusion in preterms - CB TRIP - is a monocentric prospective nonrandomized study aimed to monitor HbF levels in preterm neonates receiving RBC transfusions from either umbilical blood of full-term healthy babies (CB-RBC) and/or from adult donors (A-RBC).


Clinical Trial Description

Preterm neonates enrolled in this study are monitored for the level of HbF on capillary blood samples, from birth to the week 32 of postmenstrual age (PMA). To fulfill the RBC transfusion requirements, RBC concentrates obtained from umbilical blood of full-term healthy babies are utilized, if available; otherwise, RBC concentrates from adult donors are assigned. For every week of PMA, neonates undergo a minimum of three HbF determinations, and the median values are considered. ;
