GDB

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。该项目提供了一个关于极低出生体重婴儿的通用数据库（GDB）。虽然为数据库提供服务的中心服务于不同的人群，并不代表区域抽样，但他们的人口表明，在一些主要的三级医疗学术中心，非常低出生体重的新生儿所面临的发病率问题。该数据库用于描述新生儿重症监护病房收治的婴儿的特征，检查特定临床特征与婴儿发病率和死亡率之间的关系，并测量各种疾病实体的发病率趋势。GDB还为新的研究假设的形成提供了丰富的数据资源。

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. This project provides a generic database (GDB) concerning very low birth weight 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 very low birth weight 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.
