About this study

Official title: Multicenter Prospective Study on the Incidence and Risk Factors of Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia in Term and Late-preterm Chinese Infants

Thirteen hospitals in China will participate in the study, which aims to provide data on serum bilirubin levels in the first 168 hr after birth in term and late-preterm neonates, and estimate the incidence of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and the underlying causes.

We hypothesize that the study can be value in identifying and implementing strategies for risk reduction.

Read the detailed description

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia resulting in clinical jaundice is a common problem among infants, particularly during the first weeks of life.

Information about the incidence and risk factors of neonatal jaundice is not available from China where is one of the highest countries of the incidence of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PhototherapyProcedure or surgery

    The decision to use phototherapy conformed to the hour-specific threshold value for phototherapy presented by the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines and was not at the discretion of the investigators.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The incidence of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

    Significant hyperbilirubinemia was defined as any TSB level that exceeded the hour-specific threshold value for phototherapy, according to the guidelines presented by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

    Measured: At the 28 days after birth

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with risk factors associated with severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

    The risk factors recognized to be associated with significant hyperbilirubinemia in newborns have included gestational age, weight for Gestational Age, delivery mode, gender, previous infant had phototherapy, bruising/cephalahematoma, feeding mode, excessive body weight loss, and early discharge, et al.

    Measured: At the 28 days after birth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperbilirubinemia, Neonatal, run by Nanjing Medical University at 14 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (time frame: At the 28 days after birth). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Oct 2014.
