Trial summary

Thrombocytopenia is diagnosed when platelet count is lower than 150,000 U/L, it is a common hemostatic problem in neonatal intensive care units According to platelets count, it is classified into mild thrombocytopenia with platelet count 100,000 to 150,000 U/L, moderate thrombocytopenia with platelet count 50,000 to… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Incidence and Risk Factors for Neonatal Thrombocytopenia Among Newborns Admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Assiut University Children Hospital

Thrombocytopenia is diagnosed when platelet count is lower than 150,000 U/L, it is a common hemostatic problem in neonatal intensive care units According to platelets count, it is classified into mild thrombocytopenia with platelet count 100,000 to 150,000 U/L, moderate thrombocytopenia with platelet count 50,000 to 100,000 U/L and severe thrombocytopenia that have platelet count less than or equal to 50,000 U/L.

Read the detailed description

Platelets are seen under microscope as small anucleated fragments of megakaryocytes that circulate in the blood as discs with an average volume of about 7.5 fimtolitre , 14 times smaller than erythrocytes. Platelets count in premature infant is slightly lower than that of healthy term infant but is still within the normal range (150,000 to 450,000 unit/ litre ).

The most common risk factors for thrombocytopenia are

  1. Sepsis: Thrombocytopenia is a frequent problem in neonatal sepsis and is among the most predictive, independent risk factors for sepsis-associated mortality
  2. Low birth weight: It is recorded that thrombocytopenia was more common among the smallest patients; 85% incidence among those ⩽800 gram, 60% among those 801 to 900 gram, and 53% among those 901 to 1000 gram
  3. Perinatal asphyxia: Thrombocytopenia occurred in 31% of neonates with asphyxia versus 5% of matched non asphyxiated controls admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit
  4. Prematurity: In a normal pregnancy, the fetal platelet count reaches adult levels (150-450 × 106/ millilitre) by the second trimester of pregnancy. Thrombocytopenia , defined as less than 150,000/ millilitre, occurs in 18 to 40% of all preterm neonates (gestational age <37 weeks) admitted to neonatal intensive care units

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thrombocytopenia Neonatal, run by Sylvia Elzek.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Farouk Hassanen, MD (0882080645, safwatabdelaziz371@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

incidence of thrombocytopenia in newborn admitted to neonatal intensive care unit of Assiut University Children Hospital. (time frame: 1-28 day after birth). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Feb 2018.
