Neonatal Gut Emergencies: Study of Patterns and Outcomes
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be 28 days old or younger (adjusted age if born early)
- Your baby must be in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit)
- Your baby must have a stomach or intestinal emergency that needs urgent surgery or intervention
- You must be the parent or legal guardian able to give written permission
- Your baby's condition must require emergency treatment (not routine care)

This study looks at how the intestines grow and develop in both premature and full-term babies. It involves collecting small tissue samples during a baby's already-planned surgery or scope procedure to better understand normal development and digestive diseases.
This study interviews surgeons who treat infants with a serious bowel condition called necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Researchers want to understand how surgeons make decisions and how babies do afterward.
This study looks at the long-term health of very preterm infants who had a serious gut condition called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or a bowel perforation between 2008 and 2013. Researchers will compare their development to similar infants without these conditions to understand long-term outcomes.
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 study looks at how the immune system develops in the intestines of newborns, including those born early or with a blocked intestine (atresia). It may help doctors understand inflammation and improve care for sick babies.
This study looks at how common stomach and gut issues are in babies who were born early or had problems at birth, and how these issues change over time.
