Developmental Impact of NICU Exposures (DINE)

NCT03061890 | Completed

• 3 other identifiers: 2016-7369UG3OD023320UH3OD023320

Brief Summary

The DINE study will test the hypothesis that potentially avoidable NICU-based exposures contribute to the neuro-cognitive and somatic impairments prevalent among NICU graduates. This hypothesis is drawn from the documented impact of phthalate exposure on early development in term-born children, and the acknowledged presence of these toxic chemicals in the NICU. Third trimester in utero exposure to phthalates have been linked to poorer childhood performance in cognition, motor function, attention, hyperactivity and social behavior. Phthalate exposure is also associated with altered onset of puberty and asthma. The multi-site cohort and approach will clarify the role of NICU-based phthalate exposure on high-prevalence clinical outcomes.

Study Population

Former preterm infants who were participants hospitalized in the NICU of one of the 8 clinical sites participating in the UH3 phase of the ECHO and DINE studies and whose parents had consented to participate in one of the 4 extent cohorts of the following NIH-supported studies: Prematurity and Respiratory Outcomes Program (PROP), the Trial of Late Surfactant (TOLSURF), the NICU Hospital Exposures and Long-Term Health (NICU-HEALTH) study and the Preterm Erythropoietin Neuroprotection Trial (PENUT) study and agreed to longitudinal follow up of infants as part of DINE

You may qualify if:

• Children who were study participants in one of the four extant preterm cohorts (PROP, TOLSURF, NICU-HEALTH, and PENUT) that comprise the combined DINE cohort and who were followed to study endpoint at one of the clinical sites in DINE.
• Newly recruited preterm infants admitted to the NICU at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
• Newly recruited preterm and term infants who participated in the PRISM study at University of Rochester
• Parents agreed to be re-contacted or local Institutional Review Board (IRB) grants permission to recontact families to obtain consent to participate in DINE.

You may not qualify if:
