NCT01954056
Brief Summary:
This trial will evaluate the effects of a 7-day course of hydrocortisone therapy on short-term morbidity, cardiovascular function, long-term neurodevelopment, and mortality in critically ill, term and late preterm infants diagnosed with cardiovascular insufficiency as defined by a need for inotrope therapy in the first 72 hours of age.
Detailed Description:
Cardiovascular insufficiency is common and potentially life-threatening in critically ill term and late preterm newborns admitted to the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) in the first few days of age.
This study proposes to conduct a multicenter, randomized, masked, placebo-controlled trial within the Neonatal Research Network (NRN). This trial will evaluate the effects of a 7-day course of hydrocortisone therapy on short-term morbidity, cardiovascular function, long-term neurodevelopment, and mortality in critically ill, term and late preterm infants diagnosed with cardiovascular insufficiency as defined by a need for inotrope therapy in the first 72 hours of age.
