Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the respiratory outcomes of preterm infants born at less than 29 weeks of gestation, tracking their progress from birth to 24 months corrected age. It focuses on identifying neonatal and perinatal factors that contribute to respiratory function impairment and chronic respiratory diseases. The study aims to enhance treatment and prevention strategies by analyzing various influences, including respiratory distress syndrome and nutritional aspects during NICU stays. By synthesizing data on respiratory health and developmental outcomes, the research seeks to improve care for this vulnerable population.
