About this study

Official title: Reliability of Hammersmith Examination in Prediction of Neurological Outcomes In Preterm Infants - Observational Study (REHAPENO)

In this study workers are trying to test the correlation between Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination and MRI brain/cranial ultrasound with early prediction of neurological developmental outcome of preterm neonates. This study is prospective cross-sectional collecting the data of patients according to daily standard medical practice

Read the detailed description

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the neurobehavioural performance of infants born preterm using the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) in standard medical practice and compare it with the gold standard MRI and ultrasound imagings. It would be possible to check do we need to use all the 3 examinations or Hammersmith examination would be enough reliable predictor. Secondary aim is to explore the relationships between MRI brain /cranial us abnormalities and HINE at term-equivalent age in infants born preterm in prediction of neurological outcome at 1 year of chronological age.

This study will be only single arm/single group. This group would receive the regular practice of MRI, Ultrasound (US) and Hammersmith assessments. The 3 assessments would be compared in relationships with the neonatal developmental outcomes (developmental milestones).

Receives: Other: Correlation analyses for the outcomes

What is being measured

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

  1. Non inferiority of MRI to Hammersmith assessments in developmental outcomes

    Hammersmith assessment will be tested for non-inferiority to gold standard assessment method by MRI in terms of sensitivity for early prediction of delayed neurological syndrome (DNS)

    Measured: 12 month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Superiority testing for Hammersmith assessment to gold standard MRI

    Testing the superiority of Hammersmith assessment versus gold standard MRI in terms sensitivity for early prediction of DNS

    Measured: 12 month

  2. Comparing the correlations of MRI and US scans with early prediction of DNS

    Comparing the correlations of MRI and US scans with the early prediction of DNS

    Measured: 12 month

  3. Comparing the correlations of US scan and Hammersmith assessment

    Comparing the correlations of US scan and Hammersmith assessment with the early prediction of DNS

    Measured: 12 month

  4. Hammersmith health economic analyses if primary endpoint is achieved

    Both cost minimization analyses and cost effective analyses would be applied

    Measured: 12 month

  5. Specificity and sensitivity for all techniques MRI, US and Hammersmith

    Calculations for specificity and sensitivity would be applied for MRI, US and Hammersmith

    Measured: 12 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Child Development Disorders and Preterm Infant, run by Abha International Private Hospital at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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 Jan 2019. 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 Saudi Arabia. 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?

Non inferiority of MRI to Hammersmith assessments in developmental outcomes (time frame: 12 month). 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 Jan 2019.
