NCT01869153 | Terminated

• 2 other identifiers: 308519UCD-308519
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 48
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Growth is poor in preterm infants, partly due to difficulty identifying when growth is slow. The investigators will examine the use of a computer program to try and identify periods of growth slowing in preterm babies, and compare those results to the usual assessments made on patient care rounds.

Conditions

Prematurity

Keywords

Growth, weight

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Identification of growth slowing

  At time of hospital discharge retrospectively collected data on daily weights (from the EMR) will be entered in to a computer program, to identify times where weight gain slowed significantly. This will be compared to the clinical assessment of the baby's growth made at the time (and recorded prospectively)

  Between birth and hospital discharge, an average of 10weeks
