NCT ID NCT03373539

Summary

This study aimed to find a way to predict which premature infants with lung disease might have future breathing or brain development problems. Researchers measured levels of certain proteins, called neurotrophins, in the blood of 70 infants in the intensive care unit. The goal was to see if these protein levels could serve as an early warning sign, helping doctors plan better care.
