Condition: Necrotizing Enterocolitis · Sponsor: IWK Health Centre
The WHEAT International trial is a comparative effectiveness trial exploring whether withholding enteral feeds around the time of blood transfusion in very premature infants (\<30 weeks) will reduce the occurrence of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). Currently both continued feeding and withholding feeding are approved care practices. The current study will randomize infants from Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) across Canada and the United Kingdom (UK) into one of the two care approaches (withholding or continued feeds) to determine if any significant outcomes are found.
