Stefan Johansson Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The AAP committee on fetus and newborn has released its clinical report on PDA in the preterm infant, and it is available on http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2015/12/13/peds.2015-3730 It is a short and well-written report. I especially like the headline "Clinical Trial Opportunities" and the following paragraph stressing that "systematic evaluation in clinical trials...are urgently needed to guide management of these infants". In addition to establishing causal effects of ductal shunting, we need to learn much more about benefits and harms related to our current interventions. Highly recommended reading! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Cardona Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Interesting read indeed! I wonder if that means that we will see placebo-controlled trials in PDA studies in the future.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Johansson Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Actually, I think there is a placebo-contr trial in the pipelines within the NICHD network (over there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
