About this study

Official title: DURATION OF TIME OUTSIDE, BELOW, AND ABOVE THE TARGETED Oxygen SATURATION RANGE In Preterm Infants

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a relationship between time spent out the targeted oxygen saturation range in preterm infants is associated with long-term outcomes such as Retinopathy of Prematurity.

Read the detailed description

All infants who had a birth weight of less than 1500 grams or less than 32 weeks gestation admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were eligible for the study. All infants were placed on Nellcor N600 pulsoximetry. Saturation data in two-second sampling from N600 OXIMAX pulse oximeters (Covidian, CA) was collected using a modified Nellcor® Oxinet® III system (Covidian, CA and Cardiopulmonary, Milford, CT) Alarm limits were set at 83% and 93% while infants required oxygen supplementation and 85% to 100% when neonates were in room air. Desaturation events were defined as number of times the saturation fell below the low saturation limit set on the monitor (83% if oxygen requirement >21%, 85% if patient on room air). High saturation events were defined as the number of times the patient's saturation was above the upper saturation limit (93% if oxygen requirement >21%)

The data collection system summarized each day in tabular form including average SPO2, number of low and high SPO2 events, duration of events in minutes, and the percentage of time infants spent outside of the intended saturation range. Primary outcome was threshold ROP requiring laser ablation. Data on ROP was collected during hospitalization and after discharge until resolution of ROP by pediatric ophthalmologist blinded to the study results. Secondary outcomes included bronchopulmonary dysplasia, length of hospitalization, sepsis, focal bowel perforation, necrotizing enterocolitis (stage 2 or greater), patent ductus ligation, intracranial hemorrhage, and number of red blood cell and platelet transfusions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Retinopathy of Prematurity, run by University of Virginia at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Retinopathy of prematurity (time frame: 4 weeks to 52 weeks of life). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00845624, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Jun 2012.
