This study checks how a newborn’s body changes over time in an intensive care unit, using routine monitoring. Your child may benefit by being closely observed, and the results may help improve care for future newborns.
This study looks at how very small premature babies (born early and weighing less than 4.4 pounds at discharge) do after they go home. It helps doctors understand what support families need.
This study registers newborns who are very small or born very early, to better understand their care and outcomes over time. If you have a newborn that fits the size or gestational age range and the baby is delivered at or transferred to the hospital, you may be eligible.
This study tests whether “kangaroo care” (skin-to-skin holding) affects how test weights are done for preterm babies in the NICU. It may help staff get more accurate weights and support parents during care.
This study follows pregnant people and their babies for the first year after birth to learn about nutrition and health. If you join, you'll help researchers understand how diet during and after pregnancy affects both mother and child.
This study looks at premature babies to find out which ones are likely to have trouble growing while in the hospital. The goal is to help doctors identify and support babies who may need extra nutrition or care.
