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…
The aim of this study is to describe and learn more about parenting attitudes, laxness and overreactivity, the ability to set limits and parenting stress in fathers and mothers of children born preterm at the age of 5 to 7. Hypotheses will be tested…
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…
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…

This study-protocol is directed at the comparison of two accepted management strategies at both ends of the current treatment-spectrum of moderate hypoglycemia in 'high risk' newborns: an intensive treatment versus an expectant monitoring…
To prove that 1 corticosteroids administration is the main factor in diminished bone density of preterm neonates, 2 dexamethasone has more influence than hydrocortisone and 3 children with abberant ricketsscreening have a transient diminished bone…
To compare insulin sensitivity in full term neonates and preterm neonates at term, and to compare insulin sensitivity in small and appropriate for gestational age infants.

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 research question of this study is whether BIND is reduced using B:A ratios in addition to TSB versus TSB only as indicators for treatment of hyperbilirubinemia in preterm infants.
