What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study will check how accurate chest X-rays are at finding congenital heart disease in newborns. Researchers will study 60 babies in the NICU who show signs of heart problems. Each baby gets a chest X-ray within 24 hours and an echocardiogram within 72 hours. By comparing the two, they hope to see if X-rays can help doctors diagnose heart defects faster when echocardiograms aren't immediately available.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
chest X-ray
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that chest X-rays are a reliable first step to quickly spot heart defects in newborns, helping doctors start treatment sooner.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 60 newborns, so results may not apply to all cases. Chest X-rays are less detailed than echocardiograms and might miss some heart problems.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of neonates aged 0 to 28 days who are admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Assiut University Hospital. Eligible participants include those presenting with clinical suspicion of congenital heart disease based on signs such as cyanosis, heart murmurs, or respiratory distress, as well as those with abnormal pulse oximetry findings or abnormal antenatal ultrasound results indicating possible cardiac anomalies.

Ages

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Neonates aged 0-28 days admitted to the NICU with X-ray findings suspecting CHD during the study period. * Neonates presenting with clinical signs suggestive of congenital heart disease, including: cyanosis (central or peripheral), heart murmur detected on auscultation, tachypnea, or respiratory distress. * Neonates with abnormal pulse oximetry findings (oxygen saturation \<95% in room air). * Neonates with abnormal antenatal ultrasound findings suggesting cardiac anomalies. Exclusion Criteria: * Infants aged more than 28 days. * Infants with no clinical or radiological evidence of CHD.
