Stopped: Principal Investigator unable to incorporate study and recruitments into clinical routines
Circulating markers to diagnose complications (sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis) in preterm infants are often inaccurate, partly due to the lack of comprehensive studies with temporal evaluation from birth until a disease onset. The investigators plan to collect weekly blood samples of preterm infants from birth until 4 weeks of age to comprehensively characterize differential protein and epigenetic markers in infants with and without complications (sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, chorioamnionitis).
