Brief Summary

Primary endpoint: \- prospectively identify potential biomarkers able to predict the severe course of pulmonary funcion in the first 12 months of life and realize a new profile to early identify hugh risk newborns Secondary endpoints:

  • detect genetic variance causation model (by MiSeq Illumina platform) correlating with severe pulmonary dysfunction and asthma development;
  • detect MIcroRNAs as well as anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokine variations (MIP-1α, MCP-1, IL-8, TNF-α, IFN-ɣ, IL-10) correlating with the severity of pulmonary dysfunction in the first 12 months of life and the risk of asthma development Population: preterm infants with gestational age \< 32 weeks who have suffered from acute respiratory insufficiency at birth Intervention:
  • Assessment of prenatal risk factors.
  • Collection of the following biological specimens: 1) a vaginal swab from the mothers of enrolled infants 2) a placenta sample 3) an arterial or venous cord blood sample at birth 4) peripheral blood samples from enrolled infants: the first within 48 hours of life, the subsequent ones at 7 and 28 days of life and at 6 and 12 months of age 5) bronchoalveolar lavage (BALF) samples exclusively in infants intubated for clinical reasons within the first 24 hours of life, at 7 and 28 days of life. 6) first meconium sample issued and subsequent stool samples at 7 and 28 days of life and at 6 and 12 months of age, of enrolled infants
  • Respiratory Functionality Testing at 6 and 12 months of age

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Identification of biomarkers of a severe course of pulmonary function by the study of microbiome and of oxidative stress

    8-10 candidate MIcroRNAs (absolute levels), particularly miR-451, miR-29b and miR-16, will be studied on serum obtained from cord blood and blood sampling of the newborn at 48 hours of life. To detect changes in anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokines (MIP-1α, MCP-1, IL-8, TNF-α, IFN-ɣ, IL-10; pg/ml) correlated with disease severity over time, cord blood will be used, and peripheral blood samples (2 ml in an EDTA tube) will be taken from enrolled infants by 48 hours of life, at 7 and 28 days of age, and at 6 and 12 months of age. Cytokines will be assayed by commercially available ELISA kit according to the manufacturer's instructions and will be expressed in pg/ml.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Analysis of genetic variance causation model in patients with and without severe pulmonary dysfunction and asthma development

    12 months

Other Outcomes (1)

  • MIcroRNAs (miR) and anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in patients with and without respiratory symptoms in the first 12 months of life

    12 months

Study Arms (1)

Preterm babies

OTHER

All the newborns will be studied to identify babies who will develop later (at 36 weeks of postcomptional age) Chronic Lung Disease of prematurity

Other: Blood sampling

Interventions

\- Collection and analysis of blood samples

Preterm babies
