Filter by:This trial will evaluate the impact of an integrated intervention of daily maternal calcium, aspirin, and multiple micronutrients (CAMMS) compared to iron-folic acid (IFA) during pregnancy on preterm birth and other adverse birth outcomes. Both interventions will be delivered through existing antenatal service platforms using context-specific strategies informed by formative research incorporating human-centered design processes to achieve high acceptability and high adherence, in three low-income countries with diverse contexts: Burkina Faso, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe.
In this pilot trial, the investigators will determine the feasibility of monitoring nutritive sucking patterns to facilitate the transition from tube to oral feeding in extremely-low-birth weight (ELBW) infants
A multicenter interventional study using evidence-based collaborative quality improvement to reduce mortality and major morbidities of very preterm infants in six neonatal centers in Shanghai
To compare the effectiveness of treatment of threatened preterm labor between transvaginal cervical length-based approach and conventional approach (Per vaginal examination)
The ENAT study will test the impact of packages of antenatal interventions to enhance maternal nutrition and manage pregnancy infections on the outcomes of infant birth size, gestational length, and infant growth in the first 6 months of life. Approximately 5,280 pregnant women will be enrolled into the study from 12 health centers in the Amhara region of Ethiopia. Routine antenatal care will be strengthened in all health centers, and six health centers will be randomized to additionally provide a nutritional intervention including daily multiple-micronutrient or a fortified balanced-energy protein supplement for malnourished women. Women across all 12 health centers will be individually randomized to receive one of three infection management interventions in pregnancy: 1) enhanced infection management package (screening-treatment for urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted infections, presumptive deworming); 2) presumptive azithromycin (2g at <24 wks and a second dose at least 4 weeks later); or 3) placebo. The women and their infants will be followed until 6 months postpartum. Outcomes of interest include birth size (weight, length), gestational age, maternal weight gain in pregnancy, maternal anemia, antimicrobial resistance, and infant size at 6 months.
This is a phase II open-label study evaluating the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of targeted early use of indomethacin for PDA treatment in preterm neonates <27 weeks' gestational age.
The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of autologous very small embryonic-like stem cells(VSELs) to premature ovarian failure.
This is a prospective,randomized, cross over study comparing the efficacy and safety of nebulizedfurosemide with Intra Venous (IV)furosemide in preterm infants who areventilator-and oxygen dependent. Reviewing the patient census on Neo data by the Sub Investigator will identify the potential subjects. Subject will be randomized to either A arm or B arm. Subjects in the A arm will receive 1 mg/kg of inhaled furosemideQ 24 hours for 3 days. This will be followed by a washout period of a day followed by 1mg/kg of intravenous furosemide Q 24 hours for 3 days. Subjects in the B arm will receive 1 mg/kg of intravenous furosemide Q 24 hours for 3 days followed by a washout period, which is then followed by 1 mg/kg of inhaled furosemide Q 24 hours for 3 days.
Women undergoing late preterm birth are at high risk of delivering a newborn with neonatal hypoglycemia. The investigators plan to monitor interstitial glucose levels prior to delivery in these women in order to develop a better understanding of the relationship between maternal hyperglycemia and neonatal hypoglycemia.
This study evaluates the use of a NICU clinical integration system (Dashboard and accessories) in improving the quality of care delivered, patient health outcomes, and parent and clinician satisfaction. Clinicians will be asked to follow their current standard of care practices with the aid of this technology. About half of participants will receive care in NICU rooms with the Dashboard installed while the other half will receive standard care without the Dashboard.
