Modified Diagnosis and Treatment of Neonatal Hemolysis With ETCOc in sNH

Early Phase 1

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia

• Registration Number: NCT06832800
• Lead Sponsor: Women's Hospital School Of Medicine Zhejiang University

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if modified diagnosis and treatment (MDT) of neonatal hemolysis (a common cause to newborn jaundice) incorporated with ETCOc measurement (a non-invasive measurement of exhaled gas) works to prevent brain damage in newborns with severe hyperbilirubinemia (sNH). It will also learn about the. occurrence of cranial MRI in the study participants. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does MDT lower the possibilities participants have brain damage before the age of one?

* How many times of abnormalities in cranial MRI is detected before the age of one? Researchers will compare MDT to a control (a current management) to see if MDT works to prevent brain damage in newborns with sHN.

Participants will:

* Take MDT or a control method in the management of sNH

* Assess if there's brain damage before discharge and at the year of one

* Record how many times of abnormalities in cranial MRI is detected before the age of one

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
neural damage confirmed by professional assessments such as Bayley Scales	at the age of 12 months	Neurological impairment, including any of the following: diagnosis of cerebral palsy, diagnostic hearing tests indicating hearing impairment, or a score lower than 85 on the Bayley Scales Neurobehavioral Assessment. Bayley Scales means Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development and it can assess the neural development of infants including Cognitive, Language (Receptive/Expressive), Motor (Fine/Gross), Social-Emotional, and Adaptive Behavior. Standard scores for each domain range from 40 to 160 (mean = 100; SD = 15). Higher scores indicate better developmental outcomes, while lower scores suggest potential delays.; For example, a cognitive score of 115 reflects performance above the average range, whereas a score of 85 falls below the average range.
