Enteral High-dose DHA Supplementation on Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Very Preterm Infants: a Collaborative Study (NCT05915806)

Enteral Supplementation With High-dose Docosahexaenoic Acid on the Risk for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Very Preterm Infants: A Collaborative Study Protocol for an Individual Participant Data Meta-analysis

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 📋 Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: CHU de Quebec-Universite Laval

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This one-stage individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis study will aim to determine whether high-dose docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) enteral supplementation during the neonatal period is associated with the risk for severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age (PMA) compared to control, in contemporary cohorts of preterm infants born at less than 29 weeks of gestation. The association between high-dose DHA and severe BPD will also be explored in important subgroups according to sex, gestational age, small-for-gestational age and mode of delivery.
