Primary objective: to determine the incidence and location of thrombi in the umbilical venous catheter route during and after umbilical catheterization and in the same route in infants without umbilical catheters. Secondary objectives:A. to…
The next questions will be addressed in the present study: 1. Do moderately preterm infants differ in development and attention and concentration capacities from a term and very preterm infants during the first years of life? 2. Do attention and…
To determine whether increased calcium and phosphate intake (2005 group) resulted in improved Bone Mineral Content (BMC) and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) compared to the group with less calcium and phosphate intake (2004 group) at the age of 8-10…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate neurophysiologic changes of the pain centres of the brain (the differences in particular in the thalamus, primary and secondary somatosensory cortex, insula, anterior cingulate cortex and the motor…
To evaluate the bowel function, quality of life and nutritional status in adolescents/adults who experienced an episode of NEC at neonatal age.
This study will answer the question if (repeated) abdominal amnioninfusion after midtrimester PPROM with associated oligohydramnios improves perinatal survival and prevents pulmonary hypoplasia and other neonatal morbidities. Moreover, it will…

To evaluate the predictive value of microcirculatory perfusion for the incidence of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) dependency and consequently survival. To evaluate the effects of vasopressor drugs and iNO on microcirculatory perfusion.
To establish microcirculatory profiles using non-invasive diagnostic imaging in NEC.
The main objective of the study is to provide insight in the developmental problems of very premature and/or VLBW children compared to their term born peers, and to investigate the possible beneficial longitudinal effects of the GEEF intervention on…
The objective of this study is to examine the consequences of the use of an SSRI in pregnancy for motor and cognitive development of the child, in the short and long term.
Our preliminary data shows that the prescription rate of antibiotics for suspected EOS versus blood culture proven EOS was high. We aim to develop a new diagnostic model to reduce unnecessary antibiotic treatment which can be tested in the near…
The first aim of this study is to obtain insight in the physical fitness of ex-preterms. The second aim is to study the influence of the daily activity pattern of the children on physical fitness. The third aim is to study the attitude of parents…
