About this study

Official title: Metagenome Analysis of Intestinal Microbiome in Mortality and Morbidity of Preterm Infants

This is single center study. The investigators will try to know that relationships between intestinal microbiome and mortality in preterm infants and what relationships is between intestinal microbiome in preterm infants and morbidity, mortality.

Read the detailed description

Microbiome is the collection of all the microorganisms living in association with the human body which are consist of eukaryotes, archaea, bacteria and viruses. Microbiome in an average human body number are ten times more than human cells and have about 1000 more genes than are present in the human genome. There are symbiotic relationships between human and microbiome. If investigators are able to know about relationships between newborn and intestinal microbiome, mortality and morbidity in preterm infants may be improved. The investigators will collect the first and weekly stool of participants and analyze DNA of microbiome thorough Metagenomic anlysis. The results between 3 groups(preterm, late preterm and full-term infants) will be compared. The investigators expect that a mean distribution of intestinal microbiome in newborns(preterm, late preterm and full-term) is defined and that relationships between mortality, morbidity and intestinal microbiome.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intestinal microbiome

    The distribution rate of intestinal microbiome of stool by K-mer based taxonomic assignment which is one of the analysis in result of metagenomics in each infants

    Measured: for 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Full Enteral feeding in preterm infants

    Days to accomplish a full-enteral feeding in each infants

    Measured: for 2 years

  2. Growth rate

    Days to reach 2 kg of body weight in each infants

    Measured: for 2 years

  3. Mortality

    Number of patients who died in neonatal intensive care unit.

    Measured: for 2 years

  4. Morbidity

    Number of patients who had a complication of preterm infants(e.g. necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia) or were died in neonatal intensive care unit.

    Measured: for 2 years

  5. Allergic predisposition

    Number of patients who were developed a allergic predisposition at 6 month of postnatal age.

    Measured: for 2 years

Contact Byoungkook Lee (+82-10-6301-3067, raphael3067@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intestinal microbiome (time frame: for 2 years). 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 NCT03235635, which also lists 8 linked publications.
