NCT ID NCT05993442
First seen Apr 02, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study tests whether increasing kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact) in hospital NICUs can prevent severe infections and sepsis in very premature babies (born before 32 weeks). About 3,080 high-risk infants will take part across multiple hospitals. Some units will use an enhanced kangaroo care program, while others continue standard care, and researchers will compare infection rates.
