About this study

Official title: Prematurity Related Risks of Cognitive Impairment at School Age With Regards to Social, Family and Care Environment

The main purpose of this study is to better evaluate prematurely born children cognitive development at school age, with regards to birth conditions but also to social situation, intra family relationships, and modalities of care.

The study will be divided into 3 parts:

  1. Children born prematurely in our level III referral Center will undergo psychometric evaluation at 8 to 11 years of age by routine cognitive test. The relationships between cognitive scores and neonatal characteristics will be determined and compared to the results of schoolmates born at term.
  2. The quality of parent and child relationship will be evaluated by a standardized questionnaire allowing the evaluation of persistent stress trauma related to premature birth.
  3. An anthropologic study of the utilization of care resources will also be performed within the follow-up network taking care of these children.
Read the detailed description

Long term follow-up of vulnerable children such as infants born prematurely are generally studied without taking into account the social, familial and care resources available in the child environment.

Thus, the main purpose of this study is to evaluate prematurely born children cognitive development at school age, with regards to birth conditions but also to related social situation, intra family relationships, modalities of care and utilization of care resources.

The study will be divided into 3 parts:

  1. Children born prematurely in our level III referral Center will undergo psychometric evaluation at 8 to 11 years of age by routine test (WISC IV). The relationship between cognitive scores and neonatal characteristics will be determined and compared with the results of schoolmate control children, born at term.
  2. The quality of parent and child relationship will be evaluated by standardized questionnaire (Perinatal PTSD Questionnaire). This questionnaire allows evaluating persistent perinatal stress trauma related to prematurity.
  3. An anthropologic study of care and utilization of care resources will be performed within the follow-up network taking care of these children. This part will use semi-directive interviews of caregivers involved in the follow-up network.

This study should allow to better correlate prematurely born children outcome with their global environment and propose improvements in care resources utilization for a better development.

    Children born prematurely in a level III referral Center will undergo psychometric evaluation at 8 to 11 years of age by routine test (WISC IV). The relationship between cognitive scores and neonatal characteristics will be determined and compared with the results of schoolmate control children, born at term.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cognitive and executive functions at school age in prematurely born children

    Assessment by WECHSLER IV tests of children born prematurely without neurological or sensorial sequelae, and without psychological difficulties; All in school grade appropriate for their ages

    Controls : children born at term, matched for age and school grade.

    Measured: Children at the age of 8-11 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality of parent and children relationship

    Evaluation will be performed by standardized questionnaire (Perinatal PTSD Questionnaire). This questionnaire allows evaluating persistent perinatal stress trauma related to prematurity.

    Measured: Evaluated at 8-11 years of children (at the time of child cognitive evaluation)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cognitive evaluation (Wechsler IV tests) in people with Complications of Prematurity, run by Jean Michel Hascoet at 2 sites in France.

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 8 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

Cognitive and executive functions at school age in prematurely born children (time frame: Children at the age of 8-11 years). 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 8 Apr 2015.
