Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • infant pain response, as measured by facial grimacing and changes in heart rate and oxygen saturation during the procedure

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • adverse events, such as post-procedure haematuria, haemorrhage, haematoma, peritonitis, bowel perforation, abdominal wall abscess, and induction of infection, bladder perforation, urethral knots

  • success rate of procedure according to infant factors; gestational age and sex
