Effect of donor milk or formula and fortification strategies on outcomes in very preterm infants
In very preterm babies, the study tests whether supplementing the infant's mother's milk with pasteurized donor milk or preterm formula, and using routine versus selective fortification, can improve survival without NEC and support development.
-
Using AI to predict necrotizing enterocolitis in premature babies through stool analysis
This study is trying to see if using AI to analyze stool samples from premature babies can help predict who is at risk for necrotizing enterocolitis, so doctors can take steps to prevent it.
-
FMT as a preventive measure for NEC in premature infants
This study tests whether giving fecal microbiota transplantation to preterm babies can safely prevent necrotizing enterocolitis.
-
NETs — protective or harmful in newborn inflammation and infection?
We will test how immune cells from very premature babies at risk for NEC make proteins when exposed to a substance called PAF, comparing them with cells from healthy term infants and adults.
