Research Project Areas

The University of Rochester is the lead site in a joint Rochester-Buffalo Center in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development’s Neonatal Research Network . The Network is a collaborative group of 15 centers performing neonatal clinical trials and observational research. Current research endeavors include:

  • The Budesonide in Babies (BiB) Trial
  • Randomized Controlled Trial of Cycled Phototherapy
  • Trial to Improve Red Cell Mass and Neuroprotection in Preterm Infants
  • Neurodevelopmental Effects of Donor Human Milk vs. Preterm Formula in ELBW infants
  • Milrinone in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
  • Moderately Preterm Infants with Caffeine at Home for Apnea Trial
  • Management of the PDA Trial
  • A Randomized Trial of Targeted Temperature Management With Whole Body Hypothermia For Moderate And Severe Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy In Premature Infants 33-35 Weeks Gestational Age
  • Survey of Morbidity and Mortality in Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) Infants
  • Follow-Up of Infants Born Less Than or Equal to 26 Completed Weeks Gestational Age at 22-26 Months Corrected Age
  • Follow-up of infants enrolled in the Hydrocortisone for BPD Trial at 5-6 years corrected age to assess functional developmental and respiratory outcomes at early school age
  • Follow-up of infants enrolled in the TOP Trial at 5-6 years corrected age to assess neurological and functional outcomes at early school age based on neonatal transfusion threshold

Other research includes:

  • High fidelity simulation technology for team training
  • Telehealth simulation for training for neonatal emergencies
  • Trial of Eat/Sleep/Console approach to neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome
  • Neonatal hemodynamic measurements and risk for acute kidney injury (put in kidney section, as well)
  • Measurement of chest excursion during high frequency ventilation (put in lung section, as well)
