Application of Bioimpedance Vector Analysis in Neonates

July 23, 2024 updated by: Zhujiang Hospital
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the distribution of bioimpedance vector of healthy neonates in China in health conditions. The main question it aims to answer are:whether the distribution of bioimpedance vector of healthy neonates in China is correspond to that in other countries.Participants will be measures by NUTRILAB impedance analyzer (Akern, Florence, Italy).

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Data such as demographic data, maternal background, gestational age at birth, gestational history, weight and height, will be collected from medical records.Each day we will measure 3 newborns chosen by simple random sampling, for which we will use Excel function.Bioimpedance analysis will be performed according to the manufacturer's instructions within the first 24 hours of life, using a tetrapolar configuration of electrodes (at 400 μA and 50 kHz) with a NUTRILAB impedance analyzer (Akern, Florence, Italy). BIA data will be acquired when they are still, preferably in quiet sleep, avoiding contact between the upper limbs and trunk, and between the legs. Two outer distal adhesive electrodes will be placed on the dorsal surface of the right hand and foot, proximal to the metacarpal-phalangeal and metatarsal-phalangeal joints, and 2 inner electrodes will be placed proximally on the right fore-arm and pretibial region, leaving 5.5cm of free skin around the outer electrodes. The surface should have no skin lesions and will be cleaned with chlorhexidine solution. R and Xc values will be measured in triplicate in each infant, and the arithmetic mean will be used. The device will be calibrated every 20 evaluations(approximately once a week) using a resistor provided by the manufacturer. All the measurements will be performed at the nursery by the same investigator.We will use BIVA to analyse the result: the components of the impedance vector (R and Xc) will be normalized by the height (R/H [ohm/m] and Xc/H [ohm/m], respectively). PA is obtained from the arc-tangent ratio Xc:R. To transform it from radians to degrees, the result is multiplied by 180°/π。Using the RXc graph method the bivariate 95% confidence intervals (ellipses) of the mean vectors of the newborns will be established. From the bivariate normal distribution of R/H and Xc/H, the bivariate 95%, 75%, and 50% tolerance intervals will be drawn. We will use the Hotelling T2 test and univariate analysis (F test) by the BIVA software 2002 for the analysis of the CI for the comparison of the subject groups and for the analysis of tolerance intervals. The significance level is set at 0.05 in all tests.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Chinese healthy term newborns born within 24 hours.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
