Thyroid Function in Term and Near Term Infants With Respiratory Distress and Its' Relation to Severity of Illness
In Brief
An observational study for Transient Hypothyroxinemia and Infant, Newborn. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study was designed to evaluate the level of certain hormones (thyroid hormones and cortisol) in full term or close to full term infants who have respiratory distress severe enough to require respiratory support. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a relationship between these hormone levels and how sick these infants are who require help with breathing following birth. Hypothesis: Infants who are born full term or near full term and who have low hormone levels will have higher severity of illness.
