About this study

The traditional concept believes that the etiology of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is immature development of lung,especially the surfactant synthesis system,and RDS is still one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in newborns, especially premature infants.In recent years, using pulmonary surfactant replacement therapy (PS treatment) in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a major breakthrough in neonatal medicine.Combined with clinical practice and experience,and through Meta analysis of related randomized controlled trials (RCTs),it confirms that natural surfactant treatment can reduce mortality,the incidence of pulmonary air leaks (pneumothorax and interstitial lung emphysema),and the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or 28-day-old mortality.For RDS in preterm infants whose gestation is <35 weeks ,surfactant replacement therapy is also more effective than in nearly term and full term infants.Therefore, in the analysis of cases of different gestational age groups,the investigators should focus on the study of premature infants cases.Due to less relevant research for using PS treatment to cure newborn RDS in high altitude area,this retrospective study conducts statistics and analysis of recently three-year cases in some hospital of high altitude area,to explore the treatment effect of the high altitude region and the impact of altitude on the treatment.

Read the detailed description

in order to explore feasibility and efficacy for PS treatment of newborn RDS in high-altitude area ,and its efficacy at different altitudes, the investigators conduct a multi-center retrospective study of RDS cases in Qinghai and Tibet these two high-altitude area,and use RDS cases under the unique conditions to do statistics and analysis.

    surfactant is given when neonatal respiratory distress syndrome is diagnosed

What is being measured

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

  1. bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)

    the incidence of BPD in infants with neonatal neonatal RDS

    Measured: before discharge or 36 weeks' gestational age

  2. death

    Measured: before discharge or 36 weeks' gestational age

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. intraventriclular hemorrhage(IVH)

    the incidence of IVH in infants with neonatal RDS

    Measured: before discharge or 36 weeks' gestational age

  2. necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC)

    the incidence of NEC in infants with neonatal RDS

    Measured: before discharge or 36 weeks' gestational age

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ma Juan, MD (13508300283, petshi530@vip.163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) (time frame: before discharge or 36 weeks' gestational age). 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 17 Feb 2021.
