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…
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 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.
The development of a disease specific questionnaire to measure the quality of life in children with BPD at age 4-8, that can be answered by the parents.
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…
In the present proposal, we aim to answer whether antenatal allopurinol administration does reduce hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy in neonates exposed to intra-uterine asphyxia.
1) To test the feasibility of vaccinating pregnant women against B. pertussis in preventing B. pertussis infection in newborn babies.2) To test the safety of vaccinating pregnant women against B. pertussis in preventing B. pertussis infection in…
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…
AimTo determine whether the prophylactic use of IVIg reduces the need for ET in neonates with Rh-D hemolytic disease.
To quantify splanchnic and whole body aspartate metabolism in premature neonates.
1. To determine the rate of splanchnic utilization of glutamine, proposed to be conditionally essential for premature infants.2. To quantify the rate of splanchnic oxidation of dietary glutamine, which is supposed to be one of the major fuel…
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…
To compare the effectiveness of progesterone and cervical pessary in the prevention of preterm birth in women with singleton and twin pregnancies and a short cervix.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether darbepoetin alfa is effective in reducing the incidence of late anemia in infants with HDN treated with IUT and therefore in decreasing the number of top-up transfusion required per…
To compare the effect of a HCPAP with LCPAP on oxygenation in the first 5 minutes during stabilization in preterm infants at birth.
To compare the effect of umbilical cord clamping after cardiopulmonary stabilisation (Physiological Based Cord Clamping; PBCC) to standard care (Time Based Cord Clamping; TBCC) on intact survival and health care costs in preterm infants.
