Risks and results of newborn anemia in the NICU
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at why newborns in the NICU develop anemia and how it affects their health. It may help doctors better understand and treat anemia in premature and full-term babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how blood markers like lactate and complete blood count (CBC) can help spot infection in newborns up to 28 days old. It may lead to faster, more accurate diagnosis for babies with possible sepsis.
This study tests a painless device that checks for anemia (low red blood cells) in babies without needing a blood draw. If your baby is in the NICU and already needs a blood test, this device might be able to replace it.
This study looks at whether a mother's low iron (with or without anemia) affects her baby's iron levels at birth. It aims to help understand how to better protect both mothers and newborns.
This study looks at germs that cause infections in newborns and which antibiotics work best against them. It aims to help doctors choose the right treatment for babies in the intensive care unit.
This study is testing a new blood test (called presepsin) to see if it can help doctors quickly diagnose sepsis (a serious infection) in newborns. If your baby has signs of infection, this test might help find the cause sooner.
This study looks at how different types of feeding affect the gut of very preterm babies when they receive a blood transfusion. If your baby qualifies, the team will do extra monitoring and ultrasound scans to learn more about gut health during transfusions.
