The purpose of this study is to explore the question: Does prophylactic administration of exogenous surfactant in the delivery room, using a minimally-invasive technique, improve outcome in preterm infants 22-29 weeks' gestation compared to rescue treatment using the same technique?
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a breastfeeding support system on breast milk quantity and mother-infant attachment in preterm infants. This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted in the Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of a hospital in eastern Turkey between January and June 2022. The population of the study consisted of preterm infants and their mothers who received treatment and care in the NICU between the dates of the study. The study sample consisted of 70 preterm infants (35 experimental, 35 control) and their mothers who met the research criteria.
Umbilical cord clamping is an important intervention that routinely done for all neonates afterbirth. yet the optimal timing for this intervention remains controversial
This study evaluates the addition of vaginal micronized progesterone effervescent to standard treatment in the treatment of preterm labor. Half of participants will receive vaginal micronized progesterone effervescent and standard treatment, while the other half will receive only standard treatment.
The study concerns the creation and implementation of a digital tool presenting the various orofacial stimuli that can be offered to premature newborns. This app is intended for parents, to allow them to play a more active role in their child's care, and provide them with special time with their child. The notion of pleasure is very important to us, and it's vital to help parents rediscover this feeling with their child. Different profiles will be created to individualize our recommendations, facilitate the understanding of orofacial stimuli, make them more concrete than drawings, and provide care adapted to each patient and improve the development of newborns through more regular orofacial stimulation.
Objective of the study: To examine cognition, motor function, executive functions, speech and language development, behaviour, psychosocial functioning,academic achievement, physical morbidities and growth of MLPTI at the age of 9 years and correlate this with BSID-III-NL scores,growth parameters and body composition at the age of 2 years. Study design: This study will be a prospective open, non-therapeutic exploratory cohort study and can be seen as a continuation on the study with protocol identification number NL50800.094.14, performed in the NWZ Alkmaar between 2014 and 2016. This was a study on growth and neurodevelopment of MLPTI in the first 2 years of life. Study population: The study population is a group of 200 moderate and late preterm children who were born in the NWZ Alkmaar between 2014 and 2016. 100 of these children participated in the aforementioned study on growth and neurodevelopment at the age of 2 years. The oldest children in this group will reach the age of 9 years in 2023. Brothers/sisters/friends of these children aged between 8 and 10 will be asked as control group (n=50). Primary study parameters/outcome of the study: The main study parameters are the IQ-scores of the WISC-V, the motoric scores of the Movement-ABC, the executive functions of the EMMA Toolbox, the presence of morbidities, the growth pattern and the mean blood pressure at 9 years of age. Secondary study parameters/outcome of the study: Secondary outcome parameters are the he behavioural and psychosocial outcomes of the CBCL and the SDQ scores, speech-and language-developmental scores of the CELF-5-NL and CCC-2-NL, MCH Feeding Scale and Teacher Report Form (TRF) scores. Other outcome parameters are the relation between the 9-year outcomes and the BSID-III scores at the age of 2, and the differences between the MLPTI and the control group. Furthermore, we aim to determine the relation between growth and body composition in the first two years of life and the waist circumference, growth parameters and blood pressure at the age of 9 years.
Prematurity is an important risk factor for delayed neuropsychomotor development. The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of different intervention models on the neuropsychomotor development of premature babies based on the ICF biopsychosocial model.
This is a prospective, observational cohort study. For the study part on noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) the design is interventional. For all participants prospective data collection will be conducted by chart review and by downloading ventilatory data from the ventilator. A registration of respiratory severity score will be done by a caregiver during the weaning period. This consists of a visual assessment of the work of breathing every 2 hours. For participants on NIV-NAVA consenting to the interventional part of the study a titration procedure will be conducted, afterwards serial electrical impedance tomography and lung and diaphragm ultrasound measurements will be done.
The study was planned to determine the effect of rocking bed applied to preterm newborns on comfort, physiological parameters and cerebral oxygenase level (rSO2).
