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.
To inform the frequency of women at higher FNAIT risk among pregnant women of different racial and ethnic characteristics who present for pre-natal care and to assess the occurrence of HPA-1a alloimmunization in these women. It is planned that data…
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…
The main goal of this study is to determine motor, cognitive, behavioral, executive, and language functioning of children with PAIS at school age. Furthermore, we will analyze the effect of PAIS on brain growth, development, and connectivity using…

To investigate the effect of FCR during hospital stay, accompanied by FICare, on parental stress at discharge in parents of preterm (born before 37 weeks of gestational age) or ill (for instance with sepsis or small for gestational age) infants…
This study will evaluate if neonatal effects as described in previous studies are seen in delayed umbilical cord clamping in caesarean sections. Moreover, we will review the maternal effects compared to conventional cord milking in caesarean…
The objectives of the study are to:A. Determine the effects of music therapy during skin-breaking procedures on the pain response in infants admitted to a NICU or HC ward.B. Determine the effects of music therapy during skin-breaking procedures on…
The aim of this study is to characterize the composition of amniotic fluid, collected during preterm delivery, of extremely preterm infants (24-28 weeks), using novel molecular techniques. These approaches include microbial (e.g. IS-pro analysis)…
Therapeutic nadroparin administration:Primary objective: To develop evidence-based dosing regimens of nadroparin for extremely premature, premature and term neonates by means of the objectification of the PK/PD of nadroparin.Secondary objective: 1)…
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Kangaroo care (KC), live-performed music therapy (LPMT), and combination therapy (CT) on salivary cortisol (SC) and salivary oxytocin (OT) responses in parents of preterm infants, as well as on…
To investigate the effect of implementing continuous antepartum eCTG monitoring at the OHC, on perinatal and maternal outcomes and obstetric care
