About this study

Official title: Work of Breathing and Oxygen Saturation Stability in Premature Infants With History of Respiratory Insufficiency Prior to Discharge

The purpose of this study is to compare how premature infants who required oxygen for at least 28 days during their time in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) breathe at discharge compared to premature infants who did not require oxygen for at least 28 days during their time in the NICU.

Read the detailed description

Work of breathing tests will be performed on premature infants who required oxygen for at least 28 days during their time in NICU. These same work of breathing tests will be performed in another group of premature infants who did not require oxygen for at least 28 days during their time in the NICU. The two groups will be compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. Work of breathing indices

    Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP) measurements will be taken and Phase Angle will be measured.

    Measured: 25 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Intermittent Hypoxia

    Oxygen saturation will be measured using a high resolution pulse oximeter.

    Measured: 25 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia and Very Low Birth Weight Infant, run by Christiana Care Health Services at 1 site in United States.

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 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 18 Apr 2023. 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 United States. 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?

Work of breathing indices (time frame: 25 minutes). 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 18 Apr 2023.
