Improving the Immediate and Longer-Term Health Outcomes of Preterm Infants

早产儿会产生终生存在的健康问题，并对精神、身体和社会福祉产生影响。由于所有的身体系统在出生时都不成熟，早产儿可能会出现一种或多种不同的健康问题。产前、产中和产后的许多因素都可能影响婴儿对不同治疗方法的反应。我们的合作研究项目旨在了解整体情况，帮助我们设计更好的治疗方法，改善早产后的长期结果。

Premature babies develop health problems that persist throughout life and impact on mental, physical and social well-being. As all body systems are immature at birth, premature babies can develop one or many different health problems. Many factors before, during and after birth may influence the baby’s response to different treatments. Our collaborative research program seeks to understand the big picture, to help us design better treatments that improve long term outcomes after preterm birth.
