Study summary

This is a follow-up study of a recently completed trial (17.14.INF) evaluating the growth of pre-term infants. Enrolled children will undergo neurocognitive assessments at 18- and 24-months of corrected age (CA).

Read the detailed description

This is a follow-up study of a recently completed multi-center, prospective, single-arm, open-label interventional trial (17.14.INF - Alprem RTF: NCT03728764) evaluating the growth of pre-term infants receiving a two-stage PTF feeding system while in the neonatal care unit and continuing until 30 days post-discharge.

Enrolled children will undergo neurocognitive assessments at 18- and 24-months of corrected age (CA). The timing of the cognitive assessments aligns with routine check-up visits and reflect the period at which developmental delays may first become evident.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Bayley-III scores at 24 months

    Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, third edition (Bayley-III) cognitive score at 24 months of corrected age (CA). Composite scores range 40-160, with a mean of 100 and SD of 10 points. A composite score of 70 or less is an indication of a delay in child neurocognitive development.

    Time frame: 24 months of CA

Secondary outcomes

  1. Bayley-III scores at 18 months

    Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, third edition (Bayley-III) cognitive score at 18 months of corrected age (CA). Composite scores range 40-160, with a mean of 100 and SD of 10 points. A composite score of 70 or less is an indication of a delay in child neurocognitive development.

    Time frame: 18 months of CA

  2. Weight

    Child weight (g)

    Time frame: At enrollment, 18 and 24 months of CA

  3. Length/height

    Child length/height (cm)

    Time frame: At enrollment, 18 and 24 months of CA

  4. Head circumference

    Child head circumference (cm)

    Time frame: At enrollment, 18 and 24 months of CA

  5. Child temperament scores

    Parent-reported child temperament questionnaire validated specifically for children between the ages of 18 and 36 months

    Time frame: At 18 and 24 months of CA

  6. Developmental Milestone scores

    Parent-reported achievements of specific age-appropriate milestones (yes/no responses to child performing specific milestones or not)

    Time frame: At 18 and 24 months of CA

  7. Number of healthcare usage

    Retrospective parent-reported recall of the number of healthcare usage and hospitalizations

    Time frame: At 18 and 24 months of CA

  8. Feeding patterns

    Feeding practice outcomes collected retrospectively at each visit via a parent-reported questionnaire related to breastfeeding duration, prevalence of formula feeding, and age at initiation of complementary feeding

    Time frame: At 18 and 24 months of CA
