CARES study after newborn intestinal surgery
This study looks at newborns who had intestinal surgery at a specific hospital, using existing medical records. Researchers will focus on whether starting food by mouth early was safe or not, which could help improve care for future newborns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a newborn who had intestinal surgery at the hospital’s neonatal surgery unit
- Have medical records available in the hospital’s electronic health system
- Not have a medical reason that makes early feeding by mouth unsafe

This study looks at blood markers in newborns after major stomach or intestine surgery. It aims to understand recovery and could help improve care for babies with similar conditions.
This trial studies whether a specific feeding approach helps babies start full tube feeding sooner after surgical closure of an enterostomy (a stoma). It may help reduce the time until your baby is fully fed through the gut.
This study tests whether starting feedings earlier than usual helps babies born with gastroschisis recover better. It aims to find a safer and more effective feeding plan for these newborns.
This study looks at newborns (up to 28 days old) who have urgent stomach or intestinal problems needing immediate treatment. Researchers want to understand what types of emergencies happen most often and how babies fare after treatment.
This trial studies a nutrition plan given around the time of heart surgery for babies with congenital heart disease. It may help improve how babies grow and recover by supporting feeding before and after the operation.
This trial is testing a special care plan (ERAS) to help children recover faster after planned intestinal surgery. The plan includes steps like better pain control and earlier feeding, and it is used only in certain pediatric surgery centers.
