About this study

Official title: Feasibility and Contribution of a Nurse Consultation in the Follow-up of At-risk Newborn at Maternity Discharged: 3-year Experience in a Tertiary Center.

The postnatal period is a critical phase involving important physiological, psychological and social changes. Pediatric nurses could be a crucial actor in the follow-up of at-risk newborn, in collaboration with other health professionals and contribute to a reduction in pediatric emergency department (PED) visits and/or hospitalization in first weeks of life. To describe population of at-risk newborns who attended a nurse consultation after discharge from a type 3 maternity hospital and to evaluate the impact of a post-hospitalization nurse consultation for at-risk newborns on PED visits and hospitalizations.

Read the detailed description

The postnatal period is a critical phase involving important physiological, psychological and social changes. In 2013, WHO recommends at least three postnatal contacts on day 3, between days 7 and 14, and six weeks after birth. Despite these recommendations, pediatric emergency department (PED) visits for newborns are constantly increasing. Some studies have shown that most of these visits were related to nonserious diseases, mainly due to a lack of knowledge and information. At the same time, some high-risk newborns have been identified as likely to be admitted to PED and subsequently hospitalized. All these findings highlight the great need for education and parental support by health staff from the time of maternity discharged, particularly when certain high-risk conditions are identified.

In France, guidelines on maternity discharge after childbirth include pediatric nurses as professionals involved in postnatal follow-up. Pediatric nurses could be a crucial actor in the follow-up of at-risk newborn, in collaboration with other health professionals and contribute to a reduction in PED visits and/or hospitalization in first weeks of life.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of At-risk Newborn, run by Centre Hospitalier Sud Francilien 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?

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?

PED visits at 2 weeks (time frame: 2 weeks after discharge of maternity hospital). 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 15 Aug 2024.
