Anemia of prematurity
MONDO:0001239A blood disorder characterized by low hemoglobin levels in premature neonates that usually spontaneously resolves within 3-6 months post birth. A combination of factors including the transition from the liver to the bone marrow for erythropoiesis in a neonate, blood loss experienced during delivery, the shortened life span of fetal blood cells, and an acclimation to a relatively hyperoxic environment outside the womb can predispose a neonate to this condition.
Also known as: AOP

Could cord blood transfusions protect fragile preemies?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether using cord blood, rich in fetal hemoglobin, for transfusions in preterm infants can reduce serious complications like blindness, lung disease, and gut problems. Researchers will compare outcomes in 200 very low birth weight babies who receive either cord …

Cord blood transfusions could be safer for preterm babies
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study compares transfusions using red blood cells from umbilical cord blood versus standard adult donor blood in extremely premature infants. About 176 babies born before 28 weeks or weighing under 1000 grams will be enrolled. The goal is to see if cord blood reduces the ris…

Smartwatch signals may flag anemia, no needle needed
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingAnemia often goes unnoticed because diagnosis requires a blood draw. This study tests whether a wrist-worn smartwatch can identify people likely to have anemia by tracking blood flow, heart rate, oxygen, and movement. About 400 adults, with and without anemia, will wear the watch…

Could a painless light sensor replace the needle for anemia screening?
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether a non-invasive device that uses light to measure hemoglobin through the skin can accurately detect anemia. Researchers will compare its readings with standard blood tests in 150 adults in Jakarta. If the device proves reliable, it could offer a quick, pai…
