The APOSTEL-VI study will assess whether a cervical pessary prolongs pregnancy in women who have been admitted for threatened preterm labor with a positive fibronectin test, but remained undelivered. Furthermore we will study whether a cervical…
To assess whether a higher prophylactic platelet transfusion threshold is superior to the lower thresholds in reducing the proportion of patients who experience a major bleed or death up to study day 28.
The primary objective of the SafeBoosC trial is to examine if it is possible to stabilise the cerebral oxygenation of extremely preterm infants (gestational age < 28 wks) during the first 72 hours of life through the application of cerebral…
Evaluation of the effects of intravenous lipid and extra amino acid supplementation from birth onwards to very low birth weight infants on amino acid turnover and protein accretion. As secondary objectives the safety, energy expenditure and short-…
The objective is to study the effectiveness of the Triple P program compared to a control group, for parents and their NICU-graduates with emotional and/or behavioral problems. Effectivenes concerns children's problems, parents' parenting…
The project aims to gain more insight in the process of bonding between parents and prenature infants, to validate a screening instrument that can be easily adopted in maternity wards of (general) hospitals to detect parents and children at risk for…
To compare neonatal mortality and short-term (advanced MRI indices of structural brain injury at 40 weeks* GA) and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes (Bayley scales of infant development III [BSID-III] at 24 months) between two groups of very…
1. To prevent multiple pregnancies and the concomittant neonatal mortality and morbidity while retaining acceptable delivery rates in couples with unexplained subfertility or mild male subfertility and poor fertility prospects. 2. To assess the…
To asses the effect of intermittent bolus nasogastric milk feeding versus semi-continuous milk feeding in preterm infants
The research question of this study is whether BIND is reduced using B:A ratios in addition to TSB versus TSB only as indicators for treatment of hyperbilirubinemia in preterm infants.
To compare the effectiveness of progesterone and cervical pessary in the prevention of preterm birth in women with singleton and twin pregnancies and a short cervix.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether darbepoetin alfa is effective in reducing the incidence of late anemia in infants with HDN treated with IUT and therefore in decreasing the number of top-up transfusion required per…
To compare the effect of a HCPAP with LCPAP on oxygenation in the first 5 minutes during stabilization in preterm infants at birth.
To compare the effect of umbilical cord clamping after cardiopulmonary stabilisation (Physiological Based Cord Clamping; PBCC) to standard care (Time Based Cord Clamping; TBCC) on intact survival and health care costs in preterm infants.
This study will evaluate if neonatal effects as described in previous studies are seen in delayed umbilical cord clamping in caesarean sections. Moreover, we will review the maternal effects compared to conventional cord milking in caesarean…
Primary Objective: To evaluate whether PBCC results in a reduced incidence of pulmonary hypertension in infants with CDH 24hrs after birth.Secondary Objectives: To measure and monitor physiological parameters during transition to provide information…
To evaluate whether cervical pessary can replace cervical cerclage in women with previous preterm birth and a short cervix or in women with a history of multiple preterm births in terms of effectiveness and costs
To determine whether blastocyst stage embryo transfers improve the cumulative live birth rate compared with cleavage stageembryo transfers in IVF/ICSI treatments
To test whether stabilisation of preterm infants with PBCC using the Concord is at least as effective when compared to the standard approach using the standard resuscitation table.
To investigate whether in preterm infants, born at a GA less than 28 completed weeks, with a PDA (diameter >1.5 mm) an expectative management is not inferior to early treatment with regard to the composite of mortality and/or NEC (Bell stage…
