About this study

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the distribution of bioimpedance vector of healthy neonates in China in health conditions. The main question it aims to answer are:whether the distribution of bioimpedance vector of healthy neonates in China is correspond to that in other countries.Participants will be measures by NUTRILAB impedance analyzer (Akern, Florence, Italy).

Read the detailed description

Data such as demographic data, maternal background, gestational age at birth, gestational history, weight and height, will be collected from medical records.Each day we will measure 3 newborns chosen by simple random sampling, for which we will use Excel function.Bioimpedance analysis will be performed according to the manufacturer's instructions within the first 24 hours of life, using a tetrapolar configuration of electrodes (at 400 μA and 50 kHz) with a NUTRILAB impedance analyzer (Akern, Florence, Italy). BIA data will be acquired when they are still, preferably in quiet sleep, avoiding contact between the upper limbs and trunk, and between the legs. Two outer distal adhesive electrodes will be placed on the dorsal surface of the right hand and foot, proximal to the metacarpal-phalangeal and metatarsal-phalangeal joints, and 2 inner electrodes will be placed proximally on the right fore-arm and pretibial region, leaving 5.5cm of free skin around the outer electrodes. The surface should have no skin lesions and will be cleaned with chlorhexidine solution. R and Xc values will be measured in triplicate in each infant, and the arithmetic mean will be used. The device will be calibrated every 20 evaluations(approximately once a week) using a resistor provided by the manufacturer. All the measurements will be performed at the nursery by the same investigator.We will use BIVA to analyse the result: the components of the impedance vector (R and Xc) will be normalized by the height (R/H [ohm/m] and Xc/H [ohm/m], respectively). PA is obtained from the arc-tangent ratio Xc:R. To transform it from radians to degrees, the result is multiplied by 180°/π。Using the RXc graph method the bivariate 95% confidence intervals (ellipses) of the mean vectors of the newborns will be established. From the bivariate normal distribution of R/H and Xc/H, the bivariate 95%, 75%, and 50% tolerance intervals will be drawn. We will use the Hotelling T2 test and univariate analysis (F test) by the BIVA software 2002 for the analysis of the CI for the comparison of the subject groups and for the analysis of tolerance intervals. The significance level is set at 0.05 in all tests.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by Zhujiang Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 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 25 Jul 2024. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Tian Zhichen, master (+8613066385364, tianzhichen63@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the distribution of bioimpedance vector of chinese neonates (time frame: till 2023-11-30). 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 NCT06188377, which also lists 4 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 25 Jul 2024.
