SURVEY OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY AMONG HIGH RISK PRETERM INFANTS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 简要摘要： 该项目提供了一个关于极低出生体重(VLBW)婴儿的通用数据库(GDB)。 尽管为数据库做出贡献的中心服务于不同的人群，而不是 代表区域抽样，其人口表明面临的发病率问题 极低出生体重儿在许多主要的三级护理学术中心接受护理。数据库是 用于描述进入新生儿重症监护病房的婴儿的特征，以检查 特定的临床特征与婴儿发病率和死亡率的关系，以及 衡量各种疾病实体的发病率趋势。GDB还提供了丰富的数据 在新的研究假设的表述方面的资源。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. BRIEF SUMMARY: This project provides a generic database (GDB) concerning very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Although the centers contributing to the database serve varying populations and do not represent regional sampling, their populations demonstrate the morbidity problems faced by VLBW neonates cared for at a number of major tertiary care academic centers. The database is used to characterize the infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units, to examine the relationships between specific clinical profiles and infant morbidity and mortality, and to measure trends in incidence of various disease entities. The GDB also provides a rich data resource in the formulation of new study hypotheses.
