Sponsor's own description

Among diseases associated with premature birth, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the most important causes of childhood blindness. ROP develops in the immature retina as a consequence of prolonged exposure to hyperoxia. A body of evidence suggests a connection between ROP and the number of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. Moreover, in newborns receiving repeated transfusions, fetal hemoglobin (HbF) progressively declines. Our NICU participate to the BORN (umBilical blOod to tRansfuse preterm Neonates) trial, a double-blind, multi-center, randomized controlled trial with the aim of evaluating if preterm newborns randomized to receive cord blood (CB)-transfusions have a lower incidence of ROP, compared to newborns transfused with adult RBC cells. In the context of BORN trial, with this ancillary INCONTRA study, the investigators aim to explore the inflammatory burden, potentially impacting on development of the preterm newborn comorbidities, following CB-RBC transfusions, compared to adult RBC transfusions. to estimate the change in pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-α) and MCP-1, MIF, s-ICAM levels levels circulating in preterm newborns before and after transfusion, Moreover, we want to monitor cerebral oxygenation and oxygenation delivery to the brain during and after the transfusion of the two different RBC products.
