Filter by:This study could help identify aggravating or protective genetic polymorphisms associated with cerebral palsy. Populations of premature babies at different risk of cerebral palsy could thus be individualized with an impact on their monitoring and on the pathophysiological understanding of the processes leading to neurological lesions.
Skin-to-skin combined with breastfeeding shortened the cycle of full-oral feeding in premature infants
The primary purpose of this observational study was to determine if pRBC transfusions decrease the frequency of intermittent hypoxia events in very low birth weight infants (VLBW) during the first six weeks of life. The impact on non-pRBC transfusions on the frequency of intermittent hypoxia was also assessed.
It is still unknown when the first bath should be done in premature newborns. Investigators think that delaying the time of the first bath compared to the time in the clinic will show some positive changes in preterm newborns.
Premature babies have a high risk of adverse developmental outcomes. Early intervention approaches are applied to reduce these adverse outcomes or support of developmental delay. Early intervention approaches may vary depending on developmental priorities. While some early intervention methods can consider body structured findings such as posture, tonus, muscle power, others may consider coaching family, enrichment of the environment. The explorer baby program is developed based on the trial and error process. The program tries to find an answer to a unique question: "how trial behavior in infants can be increased and which behaviors of the infants should be supported to increase their trial process?" The Explorer baby program tries to increase exploratory motor behaviors to facilitate development. For this aim, the program tries to explain how a baby learns new skills such as rolling, sitting, babbling, playing peek a boo, etc. in all domains of development while the baby lives in their natural environment. This study aims to investigate the effect of the explorer baby early intervention program.
This study was designed to evaluate whether industrially prepared standardizing total parenteral nutrition is at least non-inferior to compounded TPN and provides nutritional intakes according to the new guidelines and provides the expected weight gain in preterm babies with a birth weight between 1250 and 2000g admitted in our NICU between 2015 & 2018
This study aims to explore the relation of early nutritional intake, especially oral nutrition intake, with growth and body composition among very preterm or very low birth weight infants.
The purpose of this protocol is to study the consequences of prematurity on the optic nerve. Indeed, the work already carried out on the subject suggests that prematurity induces suffering of the optic nerve with a loss of optical fibre, an essential element in the transmission of the visual nerve signal to the brain. The investigators will therefore study two populations: a population of premature infants aged 5 to 10 years, and a control population of term infants. The examinations performed are painless, non-invasive and non-irradiating. To date, there are no known adverse reactions to these tests. These examinations are a photo of the fundus (retinophotography), a pachymetry (measurement of the thickness of the non-contact cornea), an OCT RNFL (optical coherence tomography, scanner of the non-irradiating non-painful optical nerve) and the taking of the IOP (intraocular pressure). They aim to measure the main morphological characteristics of the eye and the optic nerve. This is a prospective observational study. The inclusion and measurements necessary for the study are made on the day of the consultation. The expected results will provide new data on this population of premature infants, allowing for better management if a pathology involving the optic nerve were to occur at any age in these patients.
The aim of the study is: To evaluate the efficacy of the reduction of visual and auditory stimuli on pain during venipuncture in premature newborns of 32-36 weeks of gestation.
Hyponatremia is a common complication among preterm infants, renal losses of sodium contribute to the development of hyponatremia in preterm newborns. Sodium imbalances impact in newborns outcome. There is controversy about the time of initiation and the requirements of sodium in premature infants. Hypothesis: early (24 hours of life) sodium supplementation (5mEq/kg/day) prevents the develop of hyponatremia in preterm infants.
