To determine whether administration of exogenous surfactant using a minimally-invasive technique improves outcome in preterm infants 25-28 weeks gestation treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
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…
To assess the effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in pregnant women with symptoms of anxiety or depression on the child*s behavioral/emotional problems. In addition, we aim to study its effects on the child*s development, maternal mental…
The primary objective of this study is to compare the level of stress and comfort of preterm infants when sedation is given during the MIST procedure compared to no sedation.
In this multicenter trial we compare resuscitation of preterm neonates with either 5 cm H2O PEEP or 8 cmH2O PEEP. We think resuscitation with 8 cmH2O PEEP results in a better outcome compared to resuscitation with 5 cmH2O PEEP.
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…
In the present proposal, we aim to answer whether antenatal allopurinol administration does reduce hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy in neonates exposed to intra-uterine asphyxia.
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 optimize the quality and cost-effectiveness of care for jaundiced neonates in the Isala Klinieken.
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…
Investigate the effect of acidic and neutral oligosaccharides supplemented enteral nutrition on infectious morbidity, feeding tolerance and short-term outcome in VLBW infants. Furthermore, an attempt is made to elucidate the role of acidic and…
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 assess the effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in pregnant women with symptoms of anxiety or depression on the child*s behavioral/emotional problems. In addition, we aim to study its effects on the child*s development, maternal mental…

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.
The objective of this study is to compare the direct effect of repetitive tactile stimulation versus standard stimulation on the respiratory effort of preterm infants during stabilisation at birth. The most ideal comparison would be to compare…
