Bonding Quality and Gene Expression in Fullterm Infants Compared to Late Preterm Infants and Preterm Infants With Early Skin to Skin or Visual Contact

NCT03366285 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 80

Summary

Recent research has identified differences in the quality of mother-child interaction and gene expression of six key molecules involved in stress response and neurobehavioral development in preterm infants (born \<32 weeks of gestational age) with early skin to skin contact after birth compared to infants with visual contact at six months corrected age. We hypothesize that these differences are still identifiable at the age of 6 to 8 years and that quality of bonding in preterm infants born \<32 weeks of gestation differs significantly from late preterm infants and full-term infants.
