SURVEY OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY AMONG VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGH

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 本研究的目的是提供极低出生体重儿（<1501 g）的基线和结局数据登记，这些数据是根据参加NICHD新生儿研究网络的机构的新生儿重症监护室（NICU）以统一方式收集的数据。 该数据库将用于描述入住参与NICU的婴儿的特征，检查某些入组特征与结局之间的关系，测量各种疾病实体的发病率趋势，并为未来多中心研究的假设制定提供基础。 将收集出生体重在401 - 1500 g之间、出生后14天内入住参与NICU的所有活产婴儿或出生时心率正常但在产房死亡的婴儿的基线和结局数据。 这些数据将通过审查母亲和婴儿的图表获得。 这仅是一项病历审查研究，不涉及任何程序或干预。

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. The purpose of this study is to provide a registry of baseline and outcome data for very low birth weight infants (1501 grams), based on data collected in a uniform manner from neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) at institutions participating in the NICHD Neonatal Research Network. The data base will be used to characterize the infants admitted to the participating NICUs, to examine the relationships between certain entry characteristics and outcome, to measure trends in incidence of various disease entities, and to provide the basis for hypothesis formulation for future multi-center studies. Baseline and outcome data will be collected on all liveborn infants with birth weight from 401 to 1500 grams who are admitted to the participating NICUs within 14 days of birth or infants with a heart rate at birth who died in the delivery room. These data will be obtained by review of the mother's and baby's charts. This is a chart review study only, no procedures or interventions are involved.
