Actual (reported)The PARENT study will examine platelet and endothelial associated proteins in preterm infants being investigated for late onset sepsis (LOS) to see if infants with fulminant sepsis can be prospectively identified using these markers

Actual (reported)A difference exists between infants with culture proven late onset sepsis and those without in platelet and endothelial proteomic profiles
Proteomic profiles including extracellular vesicles will be compared between those with and without culture proven sepsis
3 years
To examine platelet markers in this same cohort and determine if they can distinguish between culture negative sepsis and non-sepsis
3 years
To determine if platelet activation markers correlate with severity of illness as established by prospective use of validated clinical scoring systems ( the novel neonatal Sequential organ failure assessment)
3 years
To determine if platelet activation markers predict the development of necrotising enterocolitis (Radiological/Surgical)
3 years
Infants who are being investigated for late onset sepsis will be included. These infants may ultimately be classified in a number of ways, including culture positive late onset sepsis, culture negative late onset sepsis, necrotising enterocolitis or non infectious etiologies suspected (i.e prematurity)
Samples taken will undergo a targeted proteomic investigation examining platelet/endothelial markers and associated extracellular vesicles
