ObjectiveTo objectively assess the effect of light reduction as an isolated environmental intervention on neonatal morbidity.Study designRandomized multicenter trial. Neonates < 1251 g birth weight and < 31 weeks gestational age were randomly assigned to receive goggles or to a control group. Goggles that reduced visible light by 97% were placed within 24 hours of birth and remained in use until 31 weeks postmenstrual age or for a minimum of 4 weeks.ResultsFour hundred nine infants were enrolled, and outcome data are reported for 359 surviving infants. There were no significant differences between the groups in weight gain, duration of oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, or hospital stay either in the unadjusted analyses or in the analyses adjusted for birth weight, gestational age, race, sex, and inborn (born in study hospital) status. There was no difference between the groups in the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage.ConclusionsThis randomized trial of continuous light reduction in the first few weeks of life for very low birth weight infants showed no effect on medical outcomes.
