NCT ID NCT04477460

First seen Dec 10, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study looks at whether thickening the milk or formula of infants who have had a brief unexplained event (BRUE) can reduce symptoms and hospital visits. Researchers will follow 250 babies under 1 year old for up to 12 months, comparing those who get thickened feeds to those who do not. The goal is to see if this simple change improves outcomes and lowers healthcare costs.
