Prematurity-Related Ventilatory Control: Role in Respiratory Outcomes

Completed
Conditions
Infant, Premature
Registration Number
NCT03174301
Lead Sponsor
University of Virginia
Brief Summary

The objective of this common multicenter protocol is to test the hypothesis that algorithmic tools using clinical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) cardiorespiratory monitoring data can detect ventilatory control instability and predict chronic and acute respiratory consequences of ventilatory control instability and autonomic dysregulation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Physiological Outcome36 weeks and 1 day to 37 weeks and 0 days, post-menstrual age

Reported Value will be the percentile value of scores, as plotted on a standard curve of scores for peers. The score is calculated by aggregating the following measurements:

1. Periodic Breathing Percentage (%)

2. Number of Apnea events (#)

3. Number of Bradycardia events (#)

4. Number of Desaturation events (#)

5. Number of combined events (example Apnea with Bradycardia and Desaturation (#)

Clinical Outcome40 weeks post-menstrual age.

"Favorable": Either (1) an inpatient at 40 weeks post-menstrual age and not on oxygen, nor on other flow/pressure respiratory support, nor on inhaled/oral/IV respiratory medications, OR (2) discharged prior to 40 weeks post-menstrual age not on respiratory meds, oxygen, or other respiratory support.

"Unfavorable": Either (1) Deceased at 40 weeks , (2) inpatient on meds/O2/support at 40 weeks post-menstrual age, or (3) previously discharged prior to 40 weeks on meds/O2/support

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

chronic lung diseasebefore 52 weeks post-menstrual age
sepsisbefore 52 weeks post-menstrual age
