About this study

NeonIN is a is a neonatal infection surveillance database which will facilitate active surveillance for bacterial infections through a network of neonatal units, using standardised definitions, proformas and microbiological techniques. The centralised and secure web-based database will allow real-time entry of data and rapid and timely analysis of results.

Read the detailed description

The neonIN surveillance network captures data on episodes of invasive neonatal infection on a web-based database (www.neonin.org.uk). Over 25 UK neonatal units currently contribute to this database in real-time. An episode of neonatal infection is defined as a positive culture collected from a normally sterile site such as the blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or urine (via catheter or suprapubic aspirate) for which clinicians prescribed at least five days of appropriate antibiotics. Clinical, demographic and microbiological data (including antimicrobial susceptibilities) are collected using a standardised online questionnaire, and denominator data regarding the total number of live-births and neonatal-admissions are collected for each neonatal unit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of infection

    Collection of neonIN data on episodes of significant neonatal bacterial infections in NNUs recruiting to neonIN

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Antibiotic susceptibility

    Collection of neonIN data on susceptibility profiles of significant neonatal bacterial infections

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Features of bacterial infections

    Collection of neonIN data on gestation, birth weight, age of onset, clinical presentation and prior antibiotic use of significant neonatal bacterial infections

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neonatal Infection, run by St George's, University of London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2023. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sana Ibrahim, BSc (+44 (0)208 725 5382, sibrahim@sgul.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of infection (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 3 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 NCT05742490, which also lists 5 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Feb 2023.
