About this study

Official title: Association Between Electrolyte Intake and Growth Trajectories in Premature Newborns : a Retrospective Population-based Study Between January 2023 and December 2023 at the Regional Maternity Hospital of Nancy

Extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) is a common complication in the medical management of premature newborns. The long-term consequences of EUGR are weight and height restriction, metabolic disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders. The main risk factor for EUGR is nutritional deficiency, particularly protein and energy. Additionally, appropriate intakes of electrolytes, particularly sodium and phosphorus, are essential to promote harmonious growth. Adequate sodium intake is essential to ensure satisfactory growth, especially in premature babies due to their higher body water content. Adequate phosphorus intake is also essential because of its involvement in the formation of lean mass, with sufficient protein intake, and in phosphocalcic metabolism.

At the Regional University Maternity of Nancy, parenteral and enteral nutrition prescriptions for each premature newborn are made using the Logipren® prescription assistance software, based on ESPGHAN recommendations. Despite this theoretical security, it seems that they are not strictly respected. At the same time, premature newborns typically show weight loss often greater than -1 z-score.

The objective of this research is to study the impact of electrolyte intake (sodium and phosphorus) on growth trajectories and the incidence of EUGR in premature newborns discharged from the Nancy Maternity Hospital in 2023. The secondary criteria are to describe sodium, phosphorus, protein and calorie intake and compliance with ESPGHAN recommendations; assess the true prevalence of stunting in our study population; and the impact of meeting electrolyte intake recommendations on children's growth trajectory, taking into account protein and calorie intake.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relationship between electrolyte intake (sodium and phosphorus) and the occurrence of Growth retardation (EUGR) in preterm neonates

    Sodium and phosphorus intake according to the recommendations of the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) for parenteral nutrition. The hypothesis is that electrolyte intakes lower than the ESPGHAN recommendation should induce an EUGR defined as a loss of one standard deviation according to the reference growth curves (Fenton reference).

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Sodium intake descriptive study

    Total daily sodium intake, in mmol/Kg/d, during the first 30 days, or up to the date of discharge if before 30 days, according to ESPGHAN recommendations for parenteral nutrition.

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Phosphorus intake descriptive study

    Total daily phosphorus intake, in mmol/Kg/d, during the first 30 days, or up to the date of discharge if before 30 days, according to ESPGHAN recommendations for parenteral nutrition.

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Protein intake descriptive study

    Total daily protein intake, in g/Kg/d, during the first 30 days, or up to the date of discharge if before 30 days, according to ESPGHAN recommendations for parenteral nutrition.

    Measured: 30 days

  4. Calories intake descriptive study

    Total daily calories intake, in kCal/Kg/d, during the first 30 days, or up to the date of discharge if before 30 days, according to ESPGHAN recommendations for parenteral nutrition.

    Measured: 30 days

  5. Weight growth descriptive study

    Daily weight trajectory in grams/Kg/d during the first 30 days or up to the date of discharge if before 30 days.

    Measured: 30 days

  6. Weight growth according to reference curve for the population

    Weight trajectory according to Fenton reference curves in z-score

    Measured: 30 days

  7. Relationship between sodium intake and the occurrence of EUGR in preterm neonates after adjusting on protein and calorie intake

    Correlation between eletrolyte intake and growth trajectory

    Measured: 30 days

  8. Relationship between phosphorus intake and the occurrence of EUGR in preterm neonates after adjusting on protein and calorie intake

    Correlation between eletrolyte intake and growth trajectory

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postnatal Growth Disorder, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France 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?

The sponsor lists 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 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 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?

Relationship between electrolyte intake (sodium and phosphorus) and the occurrence of Growth retardation (EUGR) in preterm neonates (time frame: 30 days). 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 18 Jul 2024.
