NCT03433846 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2022-05-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aims of this study are to:

* Assess whether ex-preterm infants have a persistently immature immune system, which may decrease their ability to respond to infections, when they reach term-corrected gestational age.
* Examine whether clinical history, nutrition status, and microbiome composition are linked to the immune composition of term and ex-preterm infants and whether these variables can be used to predict the risk of developing sepsis or having an immunologic disease.
