About this study

To establish in children born prematurely a set of links between lung function in late infancy and lung function at school age, between lung function at school age and that in adolescence, and between lung function in adolescence and that in adulthood in order to evaluate pulmonary outcomes of neonatal therapeutic strategies and to relate these strategies to lung health in adult life.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Effective perinatal treatment strategies during the past 20 years have increased the survival of low birth weight infants. Accompanying this increased survival has been a 4-6 fold increase in the number of children surviving with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, although the birthweight specific incidence has remained constant or declined. Limited data currently available indicate that individuals who had BPD as infants have, as childrearing adults, impaired lung growth as well as both fixed and reversible airways obstruction.

The study was part of an Institute-initiated program on Collaborative Projects in Women's Health. The concept was developed by the NHLBI staff and given concept clearance at the February 1992 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Advisory Council. The Request for Applications was released in April 1992.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The study was part of a four-grant collaborative project on women's health. Based on available data, Dr. Mary Ellen Wohl hypothesized that bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) morbidity was related to impaired lung growth in the first year of life, did not improve during adolescence and was accentuated in females because of their intrinsically smaller lungs. To test this hypothesis, she measured lung size and airway function in teenagers and young adults, previously studied at school age, who were born, 1) at term, 2) prematurely, 3) developed respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn (RDS) or 4) developed BPD. Children born from 1987-89 previously studied at 10 months of age by novel lung function function methods developed in this laboratory were restudied at school age. Techniques of measuring total respiratory system compliance and resistance and of obtaining forced expiratory flow at functional residual capacity were applied to cohorts of born premature infants at 10-18 months of age to assess outcome of current perinatal strategies.

The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia and Lung Diseases, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Feb 2016.
