To explore cardiovascular remodelling with subsequent altered cardiac function (assessed as strain rate) in extremely premature neonates (born <30 weeks and/or birth weight < 1000 gram) with FGR.
The project*s overarching aim is to diminish respiratory disease burden in moderate-late preterm born infants in their first 18 months of life. We have formulated the following specific objectives: 1. Determine whether the introduction of our follow…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether the use of the EOS calculator safely reduces antibiotic exposure in newborns with suspected EOS in the first 24 hours after birth compared to the current Dutch guidelines.Secondary…
The primary objective of this study is to determine the relation of delta PO2 (PaO2-tcPO2) and delta PCO2 (tcPCO2-cPCO2) levels to sepsis. The secondary aims are to determine the factors that influence delta PO2 and delta PCO2 and to determine the…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of antenatal paracetamol/placebo administration to pregnant women 0.5-2 hours prior to birth.The secondary objective of this study is to compare the effect of antenatal acetaminophen…
Comparison of prenatal and postnatal cardiac function assessed by echocardiography using 2-D, 3-D, pulsed wave Doppler, Tissue Doppler and (blood) speckle tracking (focussing on strain and strain rate) between fetuses/neonates with structural heart…
To investigate the relationship between body composition and parenteral nutrition in children with intestinal failure at 6 months corrected age. The ultimate goil of this study is to optimize the treatment of children with intestinal failure by…
Primary ObjectiveIn order to assess the effects of anti TNFα on the development of adaptive and innate immunity, children exposed to anti TNFα (with or without other immunosuppressive drugs) will be compared to children exposed to immunosuppressive…
Our proposal builds on 12 years of sustained EU funding, a consortium covering 11 European countries and 27partners (with non-EU sites in African and two Asian populations to provide a global perspective) and our cuttingedge new research, which has…
We will combine four 7 Tesla MRI markers in extremely preterm infants (MRSI; SWI; PC-MRI; ihMT) to assess (1) if they can predict outcome until 2 years of age; (2) if they are of added value to 3 Tesla prematurity (Kidokoro et al., 2013) and (3) if…
The overall aim of the study is to gain more insight in as well as understand and map the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus during pregnancy. Therefore, we will study tacrolimus concentrations in maternal whole blood (routine care) and via area under…
The primary objectives of this study are:- Can EEnG measure colonic motility/activity?- Can EEnG be used to distinguish between healthy subjects and patients suffering from a colonic motility disorder.Secundary objective:- What is the…
Primary objective is to study the antibody immune response to routine vaccinations in very preterm infants (GA<32 weeks). Secondary aim is to study the immune system more extensively using flow cytometry, ELISA and single cell transcriptomics…
In 2004, a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and researchers in the UZ Leuven hospital started to collaborate on the rare problem of cancer during pregnancy. The collaboration between gynaecologists, pediatricians, hematologists, farmacologists,…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of sCD14-ST in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. The secondary aim is to evaluate whether serial measurement of sCD14-ST after suspected sepsis onset is of additive predictive value for the…
Our main question is: How does GDM brain immaturity affect skills that are critical for later language development? To answer this question, we will assess two skills in GDM infants and compare them to term controls in two independent (separate)…
