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…
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 aim of the trial is to obtain data on the optimal dose, feasibility and pharmacokinetics of bumetanide when given as an add-on treatment for seizures in full term babies with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Bumetanide will be given in a…
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-…

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…
This project aims to develop an evidence based effective and "safe" dosing regimen for commonly used life saving medicationsused in the treatment of asphyxiated, critically ill newborns, undergoing therapeutic hypothermia.To this aim the…
