Premature Babies' lungs tracked into teen years
NCT ID NCT01424553
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study follows 355 teenagers who were born very prematurely (26–32 weeks) in 1997 in France. Researchers measure their lung function and breathing symptoms to see how preterm birth affects respiratory health later in life. It is an observational study, meaning no treatment is given—just careful monitoring.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could reveal how premature birth affects lung health into adolescence, guiding future monitoring and care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures outcomes and cannot change them. Results may not apply to babies born today due to advances in care.
