Household, wellbeing, and quality-of-life impacts of very preterm birth and necrotising enterocolitis
This project will collect information to see if pausing or continuing milk feeds around blood transfusions relates to babies' quality of life and the financial and emotional impact on families of very preterm infants, especially those with NEC.
-
Tracking intellectual and motor development in babies at high risk for cerebral palsy
This project will follow babies at higher risk for cerebral palsy to see if early thinking and movement signs predict later intellectual and motor outcomes.
-
Giving surfactant to premature infants using a thin catheter at birth
This study is testing if giving a special lung treatment to very premature babies right after birth using a thin tube can help them breathe better and need less breathing support in their first few days of life.
-
Targeted fortification of donor breast milk for preterm infants
This study is testing if customizing the nutrients in donor breast milk helps preterm infants grow better than using regular methods.
-
Examining heart and lung health in extremely premature infants
This study looks at the heart and lung health of extremely premature babies to see if they have problems that could affect their future health and development.
