The aim of this study is to determine whether children between 5-17 years born to women with an autoimmune disorder and prednisone use during pregnancy have chronically elevated cortisol levels compared to children born to women with an autoimmune…
With this research project we will investigate the relationship between SSRI concentration in the (pre)term neonate and clinical short and long term effects on the neonate after exposure to SSRI*s during pregnancy and lactation. Furthermore, the…
Cross-sectional study: To detect the normal range of amplitudes and segment intervals of the fECG. Case-cohort study: To compare the fECG between healthy fetuses and fetuses with various forms of severe CHD. To determine the diagnostic value of fECG…
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 the feasibility of rs-fMRI in neonates undergoing a planned diagnostic MRI session following perinatal asphyxia. To assess intra-session reproducibility (test-retest reliability) of the rs-fMRI technique in neonates with asphyxia.
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).
To obtain reference values of rsO2 of cerebral and muscle tissue measured by NIRO 200 NX for (relatively) healthy near term and term neonates.
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.
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 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…
It is hypothesized that advanced hemodynamic monitoring will result in earlier detection of circulatory failure in critically ill newborn infants compared to clinical assessment of shock, which is the actual standard diagnostic tool in daily…
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…
We aim to investigate the current practice of prenatal counseling amongst parents of extremely premature infants since the introduction of the new guideline in 2010. We will explore the contents and the practical aspects of the counseling.…
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…
The aim of the current study is to get insight into the in potential lifelong consequences of active disease and or prednisone use during pregnancy on the children of women with rheumatoid arthritis. As readout it uses indicators (risk factors) for…
First objective: To assess late neonatal neurological outcome in infants with duct dependent CHD and to gain more insight into the timing of brain damage. We will determine whether the quality of GMs at an age of seven days and three months is…
Now that the ProTwin study has shown an important benefit of pessary use in woman with a short cervix in twin pregnancy, long term follow-up is needed to show that there is no potential harm in using a pessary for preterm delivery prevention. We…
The aim of the study is to gain more insight in the course of intestinal oxygenation, urinary I-FABP concentration, and plasma Citrulline levels (as markers for intestinal damage and recovery) after NEC in relation to time to full enteral feeding…
