Trial summary

Premature birth is the leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years old worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Premature infants who survive are at greater risk of a range of short-term and long-term health consequences. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Epidemiology of Critical Respiratory Diseases in Ex-preterm Infants Admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care in Vietnam

Premature birth is the leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years old worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Premature infants who survive are at greater risk of a range of short-term and long-term health consequences. Common long-term health morbidities among children who are born prematurely include cerebral palsy, infections (particularly respiratory infections), bronchopulmonary dysplasia, feeding difficulties, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, visual and hearing problems. Re-hospitalization occurs frequently during first few years of life among ex-premature infants with respiratory illness. This leads to increased financial burden for health care system and families. The impact of prematurity on the health care system, especially on pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) has mainly been evaluated in high income countries. Little is known about long term health outcomes of ex-premature infants and their impact on the cost to health care system in low- and middle-income countries. This pilot, single institution, observational study aims to determine the prevalence, course of the diseases, and outcomes of ex-premature infants with respiratory illnesses who are admitted to a PICU of a tertiary children's hospital in Vietnam. Investigators will determine the epidemiology of respiratory illness, and the resource utilization for these children in the PICU. To achieve these aims, the investigators will prospectively screen and recruit all children aged less than 2 years old admitted to the PICU with respiratory illness/failure and collect pertinent clinical data. The study participants will be follow-up until PICU discharge.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of ex-premature infants aged < 2 years admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)

    The percentage of ex-premature patients to the total number of patients aged ≤ 2 years age admitted to PICU over a defined period

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Percentage of ex- premature infants aged < 2 years admitted to PICU with critical respiratory diseases.

    The percentage of ex-premature patients to the total number of patients aged ≤ 2 years age with respiratory illness admitted to PICU over a defined period

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Percentage of identified pathogens of critical respiratory diseases among study participants

    Proportion of identified etiologies of critical respiratory diseases among participants will be reported

    Measured: Up to 60 days

  2. Number of participants with all-cause mortality

    The number of participants who died due to any cause while on the treatment will be assessed

    Measured: Up to 60 days

  3. Time from start to end of mechanical ventilation

    Time from start to end of mechanical ventilation will be measure

    Measured: Up to 60 days

  4. Time from pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission to PICU discharge

    The duration for how long the participant remained in the PICU that is the time from PICU admission to PICU discharge will be measured

    Measured: Up to 60 days

  5. Percentage of participants receiving mechanical ventilation support

    Percentage of participants receiving mechanical ventilation support will be reported. Mechanical ventilation support include invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation.

    Measured: Up to 60 days

  6. Percentage of participants receiving diagnostic imaging services

    Percentage of participants receiving diagnostic imaging services will be reported. Diagnostic imaging services include chest x-ray, chest computer tomography, cardiac ultrasound.

    Measured: Up to 60 days

  7. Percentage of participants receiving microbiological diagnostics

    Percentage of participants receiving microbiological diagnostics will be reported. Microbiological diagnostics include bacterial cultures and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests

    Measured: Up to 60 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infant, Premature, Diseases and Respiratory Disease, run by National Children's Hospital, Vietnam at 1 site in Vietnam.

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 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 2 May 2022. 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 Vietnam. 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?

Percentage of ex-premature infants aged < 2 years admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 May 2022.
