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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study examines whether removing the breathing tube (extubation) in the operating room versus later in the intensive care unit improves outcomes for newborns undergoing surgery for myelomeningocele, a type of spina bifida. Researchers will review records of 60 babies to compare breathing support needs and hospital stay length. The goal is to find the best timing to reduce complications and shorten NICU stays.

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 could help doctors decide the best time to remove breathing tubes after surgery, potentially reducing time in the intensive care unit for newborns with spina bifida.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study (looking back at past records) with only 60 patients, so results may not apply to all newborns. It cannot prove cause and effect.
