Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this protocol is to establish a randomized clinical trial comparing the use of cord blood vs. infant blood with the primary outcome of comparing both the absolute hemoglobin concentration and the percent change in hemoglobin concentration from baseline around 24 hours of life.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: Drawing admission labs from cord blood
  • Procedure: Drawing admission labs from infant blood

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment

Procedure: Drawing admission labs from infant blood

Experimental: Cord Blood

Admission labs to be drawn from the infant's cord blood

Procedure: Drawing admission labs from cord blood

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Absolute hemoglobin concentration [24 hours of life]

  2. Percent change in hemoglobin concentration from baseline [24 hours of life]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number/volume of packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusions [Participants will be followed from birth until time of hospital discharge, an expected average of 13 weeks]

  2. Number of blood donor exposures [Participants will be followed from birth until time of hospital discharge, an expected average of 13 weeks.]

  3. Use of Vasopressors [Participants will be followed from birth until time of hospital discharge, an expected average of 13 weeks.]

  4. Hemoglobin concentration at one week of life [one week]

  5. Hemoglobin concentration at time of hospital discharge [Approximately 10 - 16 weeks]

  6. Head Ultrasound [Read at 7 Days of life and at hospital discharge which is approximately 13 weeks of age]
