Scientists search for blood clues to protect tiniest Babies' lungs

NCT ID NCT01648855

Summary

This study aimed to understand if certain proteins in a mother's and baby's blood at birth could predict which very premature babies would develop a serious lung disease called bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Researchers studied 33 babies born very early to mothers with preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication. They measured protein levels to see if they were linked to the baby's risk of lung problems and other complications of prematurity.
