Studying birth factors in preterm and term mother-infant pairs
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how biological factors at birth differ between preterm and term babies, and how they relate to the mother and baby together. It may help doctors better understand early-life influences for newborn care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born preterm (before 37 weeks) or at term (after 37 weeks)
- Your baby is currently stable (not needing immediate major changes in care)
- Your baby was not born before 24 weeks of pregnancy
- Your baby weighs at least 600 grams
- Your baby does not have certain birth defects affecting the urine/genital or digestive systems

This study collects health information and biological samples from very premature babies to understand what affects their development. It may help researchers find ways to improve care and outcomes for infants like yours.
This study looks at cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health in children who were born preterm or at full term. It may help researchers understand early-life factors that affect heart and metabolic health later.
This study looks at how common acute kidney injury is in newborns in the intensive care unit. It helps doctors understand which babies are at risk and how to prevent kidney problems.
This study looks at differences in the gut bacteria of babies born early (preterm) compared with babies born full-term. It may help researchers understand how early birth affects early health and gut development.
This study looks at how chronic kidney disease (long-term kidney problems) affects pregnant women and their babies. If you join, researchers will follow your health during pregnancy to learn more about how kidney health and pregnancy interact.
This study looks at different care pathways to help lower the risk of preterm birth (birth too early). It will follow pregnant people with a singleton pregnancy to see which approaches may work best for preventing early delivery.
