NCT03640494

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop a novel noninvasive bedside optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging technique in newborn infants with HIE that improves our ability to assess the range of retinal effects from HIE and to diagnose and monitor treatments of HIE.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Retinal injury morphologies on optical coherence tomography

    Composite injury score from presence or absence of 5 morphologies on optical coherence tomography: 1) cystoid spaces,2) ganglion cell layer abnormality, 3) paracentral acute middle maculopathy, 4) hemorrhages, 5) photoreceptor ellipsoid zone at the fovea

    birth to 10 days

  • Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness on optical coherence tomography

    Deviation in the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in the papillomacular bundle: 0 to 150 microns

    birth to 10 days

  • Inner macular layer thickness on optical coherence tomography

    Deviation in the thickness from internal limiting membrane to outer plexiform layer across the macula (500, 1000 and 2000μm from the fovea): 0 to 500 microns

    birth to 10 days

  • Clinical hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy score

    hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy clinical score, within the first 6 hours of life, based on the modified Sarnat staging scale: mild, moderate or severe

    birth to 6 hours

  • MRI brain injury score

    MRI scoring: global score of overall injury \[0-138\] characterized as mild \[0-11\], moderate \[12-32\], or severe \[\>32\].

    from 4 to 14 days after birth

Secondary Outcomes (15)

  • Total macular layer thickness on optical coherence tomography

    birth to 9 weeks

  • Center foveal thickness

    birth to 9 weeks

  • Center ellipsoid zone thickness

    birth to 9 weeks

  • pattern of MRI injury

    from 4 to 14 days after birth

  • Choroidal thickness on optical coherence tomography

    birth to 9 weeks

  • +10 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Neonates with a clinical HIE diagnosis

48 neonates with a clinical diagnosis of HIE will be recruited from the patient populations of Duke University Health System and the University of Utah. All subject will have bedside optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging performed at various time points while in the intensive care nursery.

Device: Optical Coherence Tomography

Interventions

This is an observational study in which subjects will be imaged with optical coherence tomography (OCT). OCT systems are optical imaging technology that allow non-contact imaging of the microanatomy of the retina, optic nerve head and retinal blood vessels. The OCT devices are held above (and do not touch) the eye. Unlike visible light from many examination devices, the infrared OCT beam is barely visible to the human eye as it sweeps across the retina. Thus the infant is not disturbed by the light.

Eligibility Criteria

AgeUp to 20 Days
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Forty-eight participants with a clinical diagnosis of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy will be recruited and consented into this study from the patient populations of Duke University and the University of Utah neonatal intensive care nurseries.

You may qualify if:

  • Infants are eligible if:
  • Admitted to the intensive care nursery, outborn or inborn, with a clinical diagnosis of HIE; and with the approval of the neonatologist
  • A parent or legal guardian provides written informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Potentially eligible infants will be excluded if:
  • Congenital or chromosomal anomaly that has a profound impact on brain or eye development (e.g. anencephaly, congenital cataract or Peter's anomaly) and infants for whom there has been a clinical decision to limit life support.
