About this study

Official title: Adenoid Hypertrophy, Etiology, Clinical Manifestations and Related Morbidity, Correlation With Infant Feeding Position

500 children aged 0-5 years followed since birth by Principal Investigator (PI)since January1, 2003 till December 31, 2018 and diagnosed with adenoid hypertrophy (AH) (study group) and 500 children aged 0-5 years followed by principal investigator during the same years and diagnosed as urinary tract infection (UTI), gastroenteritis (GE), diarrhea, vomiting but without AH (control group) were compared. Morbidity and treatment will be compared and correlated with gastro-esophageal reflux (GER), allergy and infant feeding position during the first few years of life in the two groups.

Read the detailed description

The 2 groups are children aged 0-5 years and treated by PI and followed since birth during years 2003-2018. Study group consists of children diagnosed at least 2 times as AH and control group as similar children with UTI, GE, vomiting or diarrhea. Respiratory problems (pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, bronchitis), ear problems (otitis media OM, serous OM), antibiotic treatment, use of bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), chest X-rays, anomalous laboratory results, emergency room visits and hospitalization rates will be compared in the two groups, together with details concerning feeding position during the first years of life. Correlation between morbidity, degree of nasopharyngeal obstruction, allergy, GER and supine feeding position, will be evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adenoid Hypertrophy, run by Hadassah Medical Organization at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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?

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. 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?

Respiratory complications (time frame: 3 years). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04431128, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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?
