Computer models aim to predict deadly infections in fragile newborns
NCT ID NCT07254559
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether computer models could predict sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in very low birth weight infants (under 1500 grams). Researchers used existing NICU data to build and test these models. The goal was to see if this approach is feasible, not yet to change care. 144 infants were included.
