Official title
Early Childhood Neurodevelopmental, Economic and Nutritional Outcomes Among Former Very Low Birth Weight Infants From the Reducing Disparity in Mother's Own Milk (ReDiMOM) Trial
Overview
The goal of this study is to determine the long-term outcomes associated with an economic intervention that was provided to encourage mother's of very premature infants to provide mother's own milk. This study will follow children after they are discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where their mothers received the economic intervention, out to age 2 years. This study will examine childhood outcomes at 2 years of age based on which group the mothers had been randomized into. This study will also determine the relationship between the total duration mother's own milk was received during the first year of life and early childhood outcomes at age 2 years in infants that were born very premature.
Primary outcome measures
- Cognition [Time frame: 2 years]
- Adiposity [Time frame: 2 years]
- MOM duration [Time frame: 1 year]
- Total costs [Time frame: 2 years]
- Language [Time frame: 2 years]
- Motor [Time frame: 2 years]
