About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Newborn Screening for Critical Congenital Heart Disease

Previous studies have examined the usefulness of pulse oximetry or oxygen saturation to screen for left-sided cardiac lesions. These studies have shown that the occurrence of critical congenital cardiac malformations among asymptomatic newborns is high; the technique of pulse oximetry is reliable for detection of ductal dependant left-sided lesions, simple to operate(requires little time and can be done in the newborn nursery) and is cost effective; there is effective follow-up test (heart ultrasound) and available interventions have an effect on outcome for diagnosed newborns. The importance of this research project is to examine the overall helpfulness of measuring oximetry in newborn infants using somatic oximetry, as well ast to prepare for a population based study in the state of Florida.

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate up to 50 unaffected newborns and up to 10 known congenital heart disease (CHD) newborns using a new oximetry system. This system is interfaced to a laptop computer which computes the difference between central and lower extremity peripheral values, upper and lower body peripheral values, and records all data. This information may differentiate unaffected newborns and CHD newborns, and determine the effectiveness of pulse oximetry as a newborn screening for congenital cardiovascular malformations.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pulse Oximetry using the INVOS (In Vivo Optical Spectroscopy) Cerebral/Somatic OximeterDevice

    Also called Healthy Newborns with Pulse oximetry

    Up to 50 healthy infants and up to 10 infants with CHD will receive the pulse oximetry using the INVOS Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter for 15 minutes to determine the effectiveness to measure somatic oxygen saturation. The pulse oximeter will be placed on the infants forehead with a hat and around the infants thigh to measure oxygen saturation.

What is being measured

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

  1. To measure the oxygen saturation using pulse oximetry.

    The oxygen saturation will be measured by pulse oximetry on an infant's skin on the forehead and thigh. These two numbers will be recorded as whole numbers on the machine and will be compared to both groups of infants.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Cardiovascular Malformation, run by University of Florida 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 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. 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 14 Mar 2014. 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?

To measure the oxygen saturation using pulse oximetry. (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 14 Mar 2014.
