Vulnerable Population
Includes preterm newborns (neonates); parents/legal representative must sign the informed consent.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- All preterm newborns ≤32 weeks of gestational age, regardless of their birth weight, who are admitted to the Neonatal Unit, and whose parents/legal representative have signed the informed consent."}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Congenital malformations of the upper airway, hydrops, chromosomal abnormalities, neuromuscular disease, or patients admitted to palliative care."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Patients transferred from another center who have received the first dose of endotracheal surfactant at the originating hospital."}

Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Efficacy: Lung ultrasound LAS and IL-6 concentration in nasopharyngeal aspirate on day 7 of life.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Lung ultrasound LAS (lung aeration score) measured by lung ultrasound; IL-6 concentration measured in nasopharyngeal aspirate on day 7 of life."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Safety: Nosocomial sepsis (defined as a positive blood culture in a patient >72 hours of life), gastrointestinal perforation, death (cause and age).","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Nosocomial sepsis defined as positive blood culture in a patient >72 hours of life; gastrointestinal perforation and death recorded with cause and age."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Lung ultrasound LAS on days 3, 14, 21, and 28 of life and 36 weeks PMA or prior to discharge.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Lung aeration score (LAS) by lung ultrasound at specified days and at 36 weeks postmenstrual age or prior to discharge."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- IL-6 concentration in nasopharyngeal aspirate on day 28 of life.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"IL-6 concentration measured in nasopharyngeal aspirate on day 28 of life."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Days of oxygen and respiratory support at 28 days of life and 36 weeks PMA or prior to discharge.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Number of days on supplemental oxygen and respiratory support recorded at 28 days and at 36 weeks PMA or prior to discharge."}

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Evaluation of respiratory outcomes at 2 years of life: Need and duration of home oxygen therapy, maintenance corticosteroid or bronchodilator treatment, diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, number of hospital admissions due to respiratory causes, and details of the underlying cause.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Clinical assessment and medical record review at 2 years corrected age to record home oxygen need/duration, maintenance respiratory medications, pulmonary hypertension diagnosis, hospital admissions for respiratory causes and underlying causes."}
