  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: All infants VLBW infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Umeå University Hospital, Sweden, within 24 hours after birth and treated there for ≥ 7 days, during 1 February 2010 and 30 September 2013.

Who may be able to join

  • All infants VLBW infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Umeå University Hospital, Sweden, within 24 hours after birth and treated there for ≥ 7 days, during 1 February 2010 and 30 September 2013.
  • The infants were divided into two groups:
  • infants born between 1 February 2010 and 18 February 2012, before the concentrated PN regime was implemented (Original PN group: n = 81), and
  • infants born between 19 February 2012 and 30 September 2013, after the concentrated PN regime was implemented (Concentrated PN group: n = 53).

About this study

A single-center retrospective observational study comparing two cohorts of very low birth weight (VLBW, birth weight < 1500 grams) infants who received parenteral nutrition (PN) either before or after a concentrated PN regime was implemented into clinical use. Primary outcome is weight SDS at 28 days.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single-center retrospective observational study comparing two cohorts of very low birth weight (VLBW, birth weight < 1500 grams) infants who received parenteral nutrition (PN) either before or after a concentrated PN regime was implemented into clinical use. Both PN regimes were based on standardized PN solutions with the possibility to complement with additive nutritional products according to individual assessment by the attending physician. To meet recommended macronutrient intakes, in 2012 a concentrated parenteral nutrition regime was implemented into clinical use at the neonatal intensive care unit in Umeå University hospital, Sweden. However, there is a lack of data on how changes in nutrient intakes affect growth and electrolyte status in preterm infants. Recent studies have demonstrated an increased incidence of hypokalaemia, hypophosphatemia and hypercalcaemia in infants who received enhanced parenteral energy and protein intakes.

This study is a single-center retrospective observational study comparing two cohorts of very low birth weight (VLBW, birth weight < 1500 grams) infants who received parenteral nutrition (PN) either before or after a concentrated PN regime was implemented into clinical use. Both PN regimes were based on standardized PN solutions with the possibility to complement with additive nutritional products according to individual assessment by the attending physician.

What is being measured

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

  1. Weight

    Primary outcome is weight Standard Deviation Score (SDS)

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Length and head circumference

    Length (SDS score) and head circumference (SDS score) Nutritional intakes: All enteral and parenteral intakes during the first 28 postnatal days.

    Health outcome: Neonatal morbidities (including respiratory dristress syndrome (RDS), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), interaventricular hemorrhage (IVH) mm.) Nutritional biomarkers: Daily measurements of plasma sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphate during the first postnatal week.

    Measured: First 28 days of life

  2. Nutrient intakes (macronutrients and electrolytes)

    Energy intake (kcal/kg), protein intake (g/kg), fat (g/kg), carbohydrates (g/kg), sodium (mg/kg), potassium (mg/kg), calcium (mg/kg), phosphorous (mg/kg)

    Measured: First 28 days of life

  3. Biomarkers of nutrition (electrolytes and glucose)

    plasma sodium (mmol/L), potassium (mmol/L), calcium (mmol/L), phosphate (mmol/L), glucose (mmol/L)

    Measured: First 28 days of life

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nutrition Disorder, Infant, run by Umeå University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 4 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 4 Nov 2020. 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 Sweden. 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?

Weight (time frame: 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04085484, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Nov 2020.
