About this study

In this prospective, cross-sectional study, the aim was to investigate the possible role of cord stress hormones; adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, epinephrine, sT3, sT4, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the development of Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN), via their modulatory effect on epithelial sodium channels and Na-K-ATPase.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Stress response at birth, as demonstrated by cord cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone, epinephrine, fT3, fT4, and thyroid-stimulating hormone in late preterm and term neonates developing transient tachypnea of the newborn.

    At birth cord blood samples and perinatal data were collected from ceseraen deliveries of late preterm and term infants. Cord stress hormones of the infants with the diagnosis of TTN and gestational age matched controls were analyzed.

    Measured: postnatal first 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Wet Lung, run by Ankara University.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 24 Jun 2010. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Stress response at birth, as demonstrated by cord cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone, epinephrine, fT3, fT4, and thyroid-stimulating hormone in late preterm and term neonates developing transient tachypnea of the newborn. (time frame: postnatal first 24 hours). 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 NCT01149928, 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?
