NCT02422511

Brief Summary

The Genomic Sequencing for Childhood Risk and Newborn Illness (the BabySeq Project) is a research study exploring the use of genomic sequencing in newborns. The National Institutes of Health is funding this study. The investigators will enroll 240 healthy infants and their parents from the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) Well Newborn Nursery and 240 sick infants and their parents at Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) or the BWH Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). A small blood sample will be collected from each infant and genome sequencing may be performed. Six weeks later, results are returned and explained. Over 12 months the investigators are studying the experiences of parents and pediatricians of infants who receive sequencing to help understand how best to use genomics in pediatric care.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (9)

  • Downstream Health Care Costs Attributable to BabySeq Project Disclosure: Days of Inpatient Care

    Days spent in inpatient care from disclosure of randomization status / genomic sequencing results through 10 months post-disclosure. Services were identified through a combination of chart note review, medical record review and participant surveys.

    From disclosure through 10 Months post-disclosure (approx. 15 months after baseline).

  • Parents' Distress

    Parents' Distress was assessed using validated scales measuring Anxiety and Depression, and a novel item assessing Blame with responses ranging from 1 to 5. Higher scores indicate more distress. Anxiety per the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale anxiety subscale (baseline, post-disclosure, and 3 months; scores ranging from 0 to 9); Anxiety per the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (3 months and 10 months; scores ranging from 0 to 21); Depression per the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (baseline, post-disclosure, and 3 months; scores ranging from 0 to 30); Depression per the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (3 months and 10 months; scores ranging from 0 to 30); Self-blame per a novel item (3 months and 10 months)

    From baseline through 10 post-disclosure, with time points varying by measure. (Post-disclosure approx. 5 months after baseline; 3-months approx. 8 months after baseline; 10-months approx. 15 months after baseline)

  • Parent-Child Relationship

    Parent-Child Relationship was assessed using validated scales measuring parents' perceptions of parenting stress (General parenting stress per the Parenting Stress Indexâ„¢, 4th Edition Short Form (10 months); scores range from 36 to 180), how vulnerable they perceive their child to be (Parents' perception of baby's vulnerability per the Vulnerable Baby Scale (baseline, postdisclosure, 3 months, 10 months); scores range from 4 to 20), and how they are bonding with their child (Parent-child bonding per the Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale (baseline, postdisclosure, 3 months, 10 months); scores range from 0 to 24). Lower bonding scores indicate more problems with bonding. For other measures, higher scores indicate higher stress and perceptions of vulnerability.

    From baseline through 10 post-disclosure, with time points varying by measure. (Post-disclosure approx. 5 months after baseline; 3-months approx. 8 months after baseline; 10-months approx. 15 months after baseline)

  • Parents' Relationship

    Parents' Relationship was assessed using validated and novel measures of marital satisfaction using the Relationship satisfaction per the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale (3 months; scores ranging from 3 to 15), relationship conflict per a novel item (all time points; scores ranging from 1 to 5), and partner blame per a novel item (3 months and 10 months; scores ranging from 1 to 5). Higher scores on Satisfaction indicates more Satisfaction. Higher scores on Conflict and Blame indicate higher conflict and blame.

    From baseline through 10 post-disclosure, with time points varying by measure. Post-disclosure approx. 5 months after baseline; 3-months approx. 8 months after baseline; 10-months approx. 15 months after baseline.

  • Downstream Health Care Utilization Attributable to BabySeq Project Disclosure: Number of Health Care Provider Visits

    Per-patient counts for number of health care provider visits. Services were identified through a combination of chart note review, medical record review and participant surveys.

    From disclosure through 10 Months post-disclosure (approx. 15 months after baseline)

  • Downstream Health Care Utilization Attributable to BabySeq Project Disclosure: Number of Current Medications at 10 Months

    Per-patient counts for number of current medications at 10 months. Services were identified through a combination of chart note review, medical record review and participant surveys.

    From disclosure through 10 Months post-disclosure (approx. 15 months after baseline)

  • Downstream Health Care Utilization Attributable to BabySeq Project Disclosure: Number of ER Visits

    Per-patient counts number of ER visits. Services were identified through a combination of chart note review, medical record review and participant surveys.

    From disclosure through 10 Months post-disclosure (approx. 15 months after baseline)

  • Downstream Health Care Utilization Attributable to BabySeq Project Disclosure: Number of Outpatient Lab Tests

    Per-patient counts for number of outpatient lab tests after results disclosure. Services were identified through a combination of chart note review, medical record review and participant surveys.

    From disclosure through 10 Months post-disclosure (approx. 15 months after baseline)

  • Downstream Health Care Utilization Attributable to BabySeq Project Disclosure

    Per-patient means (SDs) for healthcare costs (in U.S. dollars) after disclosure of randomization status / genomic results from the BabySeq project. Services were identified through a combination of chart note review, medical record review and participant surveys.

    From disclosure through 10 Months post-disclosure (approx. 15 months after baseline)
