UK National Neonatal Research Database (NNRD): neonatal units collaborating to benefit babies via real-world data via @HDR_UK Gateway & Imperial College London

[NNRD-UK @NNRDbase]

@EBNEO @JAMAPediatrics Another study illustrating the huge utility of real-world data! Worth its weight in gold! Well done iNeo international collaboration!

[NNRD-UK @NNRDbase]

Important understandable point @NICU_Musings. This is the fundamental (too often repeated) problem of focusing research on unvalidated surrogate outcomes. Just as we showed that GMCSF increases WCC in growth restricted preterms but does not result in patient benefit (Lancet 2009)

[Michael Narvey 🇨🇦 @NICU_Musings]

Although darbepoetin for newborns 23-29 weeks increased RBCs and decreased transfusions sadly it didn’t translate into better neurodevelopmental outcome
The silver bullet remains elusive!

Thanks for highlighting @NICU_Musings; the possibility of impaired neurodevelopment is why we need the @COLLABORATE_rct to determine if donor milk or preterm formula is better for top ups when there isn’t enough own mothers milk @Blisscharity @Adultpreemies @BAPM_Official @NNRD

[Michael Narvey 🇨🇦 @NICU_Musings]

There is just no equivalent replacement for mother's milk
Replacing 1 day of mixed feeds, donor milk or NPO w/ mother's milk ⬆️ cognitive, language and motor development.
A 1-day reallocation of NPO to either mother's milk, mixed feeds or donor milk ⬇️ signif NDI, CP and/or NEC

[NNRD-UK @NNRDbase]

The NNRD is used to improve the care of newborn babies and their families in many ways. The information in the NNRD is used for research studies to find out which treatments work best, in audits that measure how well neonatal units are practising and to support legislative change

[COLLABORATE Randomised Controlled Trial @COLLABORATE_rct]

The COLLABORATE study will tackle 2 longstanding, uncertainties in preterm nutrition: should pasteurised donor milk or preterm formula be used when a supplement for own mother's milk is needed, and is routine protein-carbohydrate fortification of human milk beneficial and safe?

A fantastic gathering at Perinatal Science International 2025 on the iconic Venetian island of San Servolo. Inspiring, stimulating discussions on strengthening perinatal research from bench to bedside to policy! Thank you to all delegates!
