To explore cardiovascular remodelling with subsequent altered cardiac function (assessed as strain rate) in extremely premature neonates (born <30 weeks and/or birth weight < 1000 gram) with FGR.
Primary objective: To improve outcome prediction in sFGR by developing a prediction model at the time of sFGR diagnosis and by evaluating specific ultrasound parameters throughout the pregnancy. Secondary objectives: - To increase our knowledge of…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether the use of the EOS calculator safely reduces antibiotic exposure in newborns with suspected EOS in the first 24 hours after birth compared to the current Dutch guidelines.Secondary…
Our main objective is to explore the relationship between nutritional intake, growth, body composition and brain development. Hereby we want to improve our knowledge about how to feed the preterm infant in a way that contributes to a better…
To investigate the relationship between body composition and parenteral nutrition in children with intestinal failure at 6 months corrected age. The ultimate goil of this study is to optimize the treatment of children with intestinal failure by…
The main objective is to pinpoint the biological pathways that set long-term risk of CVD and NDI when epigenetically disturbed during fetal development by (1) establishing a longitudinal cohort of MC twins, (2) defining epigenetic alterations…
To evaluate the performance of a *genotype first approach* (WES-based panel analysis) in diagnostics of genetic predisposition in children with cancer or neoplasms, compared to the current *phenotype first approach* (standard of care). In particular…
The SILVER study aims to give insight into the half-life of maternally acquired antibodies in preterms and the foetus to mother transfer function. These findings have implications for understanding infectious disease susceptibility, vaccine…
The aim of this study is to visualize the position and movement of the vocal cords duringnon-invasive respiratory support of preterm infants after birth.
Primary objective: To obtain a detailed immunological profile of children presenting to Dutch hospitals with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection or with a SARS-CoV-2 related post-infectious inflammatory syndrome. Secondary objectives: (1) To correlate the…
To analyze the effect of early (12 weeks corrected age) versus late (17 weeks corrected age) introduction of complementary feeding on obesity at the age of 2 years in preterm infants. Furthermore, the effect of complementary feeding on body…
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…
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 overall aim of the SIOP 2016 UMBRELLA protocol is to harmonize the clinical relevant standarddiagnostic procedures for all paediatric renal tumours within SIOP and to provide imaging studies andbiomaterial from all of these patients, to find new…
Clinical feasibility of the urine collection device, indicated by staff and parents.
The main objective is to compare growth and body composition of late preterm infants at 6 months corrected age, fed either an isocaloric, protein- and mineral-enriched ('postdischarge') formula (PDF) or standard term formula (TF) between…
Our main question is: How does GDM brain immaturity affect skills that are critical for later language development? To answer this question, we will assess two skills in GDM infants and compare them to term controls in two independent (separate)…
Integrating genomic (WES/WGS) and other -omics technology in order to find the genetic cause, in 500 patients (children and adults) with an unexplained metabolic phenotype in whom standard care (genetic and metabolic evaluation) did not provide a…
Systems biology is an interdisciplinary approach that systematically describes the complex interactions between all the parts in a biological system, with a view to elucidating new biological rules capable of predicting the behavior of the…
The aim of this study is to assess the effects of mucous fistula refeeding in a prospective randomized trial. We hypothesize that MFR between enterostomy creation and enterostomy closure reduces the time to full enteral feeds after enterostomy…
