Trial summary

The indications that motivated the decision to transfuse (or not) were analyzed to verify compliance with HAS recommendations. Medical records from 57 premature infants < 32 weeks hospitalized between 2016 -2017 were retrospectively analysed, especially all the events related to monitoring of hemoglobin level and RBC… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Compliance to HAS 2014 (Haute Autorité de Santé) Guidelines for Red Blood Cells Transfusion in Preterm Infant in a French Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

The indications that motivated the decision to transfuse (or not) were analyzed to verify compliance with HAS recommendations. Medical records from 57 premature infants < 32 weeks hospitalized between 2016 -2017 were retrospectively analysed, especially all the events related to monitoring of hemoglobin level and RBC transfusions during the first month of life. The criteria (postnatal age, rate of haemoglobin, type of breathing assistance, oxygen needing, medullary regeneration) on which rely the decision process in the HAS algorithm for the RBC transfusion were also considered, as well as the final decision actually adopted for each case (transfused/ not transfused). All this made it possible to determine the kappa coefficient for evaluation of agreement with HAS new guidelines in the investigator's medical staff.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of events managed in accordance with the HAS guidelines for RBC tranfusion in the very preterm infants (< 32 weeks).

    Measured: during the first month of life

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Evolution of the haemoglobin level (Hematocrit)

    from the birth until the day 28, with respect to postnatal age and the gestational age

    Measured: during the first month of life

  2. volume of blood loss

    Measured: during the first month of life

  3. number of transfusion during the first month of life

    Measured: during the first month of life

  4. correlation between the number of transfusion and the volume of blood loss

    Measured: during the first month of life

  5. Analyses of neonatal morbidity associated with blood transfusion in premature neonates under 32 weeks of pregnancy

    Neonatal morbidity are patent ductus arterious, intraventricular hemorrhage, chronic lung disease, necrotizing enterocolitis, retinopathy of the prematurity, materno-fetal infection and the late-onset infection, and diverse hematological practices

    Measured: during the first month of life

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Practice Guideline of Erythrocyte Transfusion in Preterm Infant, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 26 Jul 2018. 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 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?

Proportion of events managed in accordance with the HAS guidelines for RBC tranfusion in the very preterm infants (< 32 weeks). (time frame: during the first month of life). 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 26 Jul 2018.
