First seen Feb 16, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tested whether a substance called tPA-PAI-1 in umbilical cord blood can predict brain bleeding in very premature infants (born before 30 weeks). Researchers measured this marker in 175 babies and compared those who later had a brain bleed with those who did not. The goal is to identify at-risk newborns early so preventive care can start right away.
