SURVEY OF OUTCOMES OF VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS (401-1500 GRAMS) (GDB)

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。 这项研究的目的是提供极低出生体重儿基线和结局数据的登记表，其基础是以统一方式从参加新生儿重症监护病房的机构的新生儿重症监护病房收集的数据。这些数据代表了一些主要的三级保健学术中心，其患者例证了新生儿发病率的范围。这些数据将被用来描述住进病房的婴儿的特征，检查某些进入特征和结果之间的关系，衡量各种疾病实体的发病率趋势，并为未来的多中心研究提供假设制定的基础。 将收集所有出生体重在401克到1500克之间的活产婴儿的基线和结局数据，这些婴儿在出生后14天内进入NICU，或者出生时心率超过零的婴儿。这些数据将通过查看母亲和婴儿的图表获得。这项调查的数据表格已被命名为“通用数据表格”，以承认这样一个事实，即所收集的信息具有普遍意义，而不是特定疾病或治疗的特定信息。它们提供了婴儿的背景、围产期和新生儿经历的描述性摘要。基线数据将在进入NICU后不久获得，结果数据将在NICU出院时获得。

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, based on data collected in a uniform manner from neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) at institutions participating in the NICHD Neonatal Research Network. These data represent a number of major tertiary care academic centers, whose patients exemplify the range of neonatal morbidity. These data will be used to characterize the infants admitted to the units, to examine the relationships between certain entry characteristics and outcome, to measure trends in incidence of various disease entities, and to provide the basis of hypothesis formulation for future multicenter 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 NICUs within 14 days of birth or infants with a heart rate above zero at birth. These data will be obtained by review of the mothers' and babies' charts. The data forms for the survey have been named 'generic data forms' in recognition of the fact that the information collected is of universal interest and not specific to a particular disease or treatment. They provide a descriptive summary of the babies' background, perinatal and neonatal experience. Baseline data will be obtained soon after admission to the NICU and the outcome data will be obtained at the time of discharge from the NICU.
