Summary: The goal of this observational study is to investigate the parenting stress, parenting self-efficacy and dyadic coping of preterm parents and explore the influence and pathway analysis of dyadic coping between parenting stress and parenting self-efficacy.

Summary: The SafeBoosC-III 2 year follow up study will follow up on all patients randomised in the SafeBoosC-III clinical trial (NCT03770741). The investigators will collect data when the patients are two years of corrected age from routine standardised follow up assessments, parental questionnaires as well as informal assessments. The study will commence in September 2021, and will expect to include all 7...

Summary: In Taiwan, according to the birth notification statistics of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. 164,496 newborns were born in 2020, with preterm births accounting for about 11.58%.Most preterm infants need to be hospitalized for highly specialized care, resulting in the separation of preterm infants from their parents after birth, which may have a negative impact on the healthy attachment develop...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to design, develop, validate and pilot test an interactive Maternal Resuscitation Navigation Application (MARINA) for the purpose of providing information and guidance about the expected events that a premature infant will experience during initial resuscitation upon delivery. This information will be shared via computer app prior to the time that the mother would be i...

Summary: This is an open-label trial consisting of two sub-studies to be conducted sequentially with the purpose of evaluating the safety and suitability of a two feeding systems in pre-term infants (one containing HMOs and one without HMOs).

Summary: Preterm infants (gestational age between 189 and 258 days) with a birth weight (BW) greater than 1250 grams will be randomized to personalized-parenteral nutrition (P-PN) or standardized-parenteral nutrition (S-PN). The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of S-PN versus P-PN on growth of preterm infants with BW>1250 grams.

Summary: Patent Ductus Arteriosus is a developmental condition commonly observed among preterm infants. It is a condition where the opening between the two major blood vessels leading from the heart fail to close after birth. In the womb, the opening (ductus arteriosus) is the normal part of the circulatory system of the baby, but is expected to close at full term birth. If the opening is tiny, the conditi...

Summary: Observations of the early interactions between the infant and his parents highlighted the existence of rhythmic and reciprocal communications that serve as a basis for the mother-baby relationship and the emotional and cognitive development of the baby.

Summary: The main goal of this trial is to investigate whether early administration of human erythropoietin (EPO) in preterm infants improves neurodevelopmental outcome at 18 months corrected age. This study is designed as randomized, double-masked, placebo controlled multicenter study involving at least 312 patients.

Background: control of pain in neonates has an important role in preventing long- term effects on neurodevelopment and pain reactivity. Oral sucrose and non-nutritive suckling are considered a non-pharmacological treatment that has many advantages. Currently, there is controversy regarding the use of sucrose during point of care lung ultrasound (LUS) scan as many consider LUS is not a painful procedure.

Summary: The purpose of this observational study is to measure pulmonary function in term and preterm infants with and without pulmonary disease including respiratory distress syndrome, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, transient tachypnea of the newborn, meconium aspiration syndrome, and response to treatments given to newborn infants with lung diseases using a non-invasive airway oscillometry system.

Summary: Recently, with the development of perinatal medicine in China, the establishment of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and the improvement of respiratory support technology, the survival rate of preterm and term neonates has been significantly improved. However, the brain development of preterm neonates is incomplete compared with that of full-term neonates. Therefore, during the extrauterine cul...
