NCT ID NCT03346343

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study uses a non-invasive breathing test called forced oscillometry to measure lung function in 600 newborn infants, both full-term and premature, with and without lung conditions like respiratory distress or bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The goal is to better understand how these diseases affect breathing and how treatments work. No drugs or treatments are given—only observation and measurement.
