Trial summary

Very early onset intra uterine growth restriction (IUGR) affects 5-10% of pregnancies and is the second leading cause of perinatal mortality. However, there is few studies on this subject, especially concerning the neurodevelopment outcomes. Read more about this study

Study population: Antenatal IUGR diagnosed preterm infants born before 34 weeks of gestational age

Who may be able to join

  • Infants born before 34 weeks of gestational age, and whose antenatal files were discussed at the pluridisciplinary antenatal diagnosis center of Nancy from 2010 to 2020 with diagnosis of IUGR confirmed between 22 and 25 years of age. IUGR is defined by estimated fetal weight inferior to the 3rd percentile for the gestational age (Audipog curves).

About this study

Official title: Impact of Severe and Very Early Onset Intra-uterine Growth Restriction on Neurodevelopemental Outcome in Preterm Infants at 2 Years Old: a Monocentric Case Control Study

Very early onset intra uterine growth restriction (IUGR) affects 5-10% of pregnancies and is the second leading cause of perinatal mortality.

However, there is few studies on this subject, especially concerning the neurodevelopment outcomes.

Objective: to compare neurodevelopmental outcomes at the age of 2 of very preterm infants with antenatal duagnosis of severe and early IUGR in comparison with infants of the same gestational age, same sex and over the same period with no IUGR.

Hypothesis : Preterm infants with early and severe antenatal IUGR have more neurodevelopmental delay than infants with no IUGR.

Read the detailed description

Method: A monocentric retrospective case control study will be conducted at the Nancy University Hospital.

Each infant included (cases) will be match to 2 controls based on gestational age, period and sex which will allow us to individualize the impact of early and severe IUGR.

Inclusion criteria: Infants born before 34 weeks of gestational age, and whose antenatal files were discussed at the pluridisciplinary antenatal diagnosis center of Nancy from 2010 to 2020 with diagnosis of IUGR confirmed between 22 and 25 years of age. IUGR is defined by estimated fetal weight inferior to the 3rd percentile for the gestational age (calculated by the Hadlok formula and reported on the CFEF curves).

Exclusion criteria: Infants with anoxo ischemic encephalopathy or major neonatal surgery.

Cases and controls have a particular follow up thanks to the "Rafael" network which is a regional perinatal network following up preterm infants and infants at risk to have impairment in neurodevelopmental outcomes.

This follow up concerns general items and items based more specifically on neurodeveloppemental outcomes.

This neurodeveloppemental follow up at 2 years old is based on the ASQ scale witch explores 5 areas : communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving and personal social. Thanks to this follow up we will focus on the gross motor, social and communication.

The aim of the study is to analyze the different items of the neurodevelopment between the 2 groups. The hypothesis is that premature infants with severe and early growth restriction have a delay concerning psychomotor acquisitions.

Primary outcome: to compare neurodevelopmental outcomes at the age of 2 of very preterm infants with antenatal duagnosis of severe and early IUGR in comparison with infants of the same gestational age, same sex and over the same period with no IUGR (age of independant walking, gross motor, fine motor, communication, social items).

Secondary outcomes:

  • complications during hospitalization between the 2 groups (incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis, early or late onset sepsis, retinopathy, intraventricular hemorrhage or abnormal MRI, audtion deficiency, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, persistent ductus arteriosus,...)
  • neurodevelopment outcomes at 2 years of age
  • growth (weight/height/CP) up to 2 years of age
  • rehospitalizations during the first 2 years of life

What is being measured

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

    This neurodeveloppemental follow up is based on the ASQ scale witch explores 5 areas : communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving and personal social.

    Measured: at 2 years old

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Severe Intra-uterine Growth Restriction and Preterm Birth, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, 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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Neurodevelopmental outcomes at 2 years old evaluated by ASQ scale (time frame: at 2 years old). 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 19 May 2022.
