Neonatal Neurologic Intensive Care Network of China
Neonatal Neurologic Intensive Care Network of China
The purpose of this study is to create a neonatal neurologic biological big data center named
 Neonatal Neurologic Intensive Care Network in China with neonatal systematic information,
 biological samples and genomics & genetic data on neonates born with neonatal severe
 encephalopathy. It also can predict brain injury as cerebral function monitoring through big
 data and recommend appropriate treatment. In addition, the following samples will be
 collected in a bio-bank in for future studies: blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
 samples.
The purpose of this study is to create a neonatal neurologic biological big data center named
 Neonatal Neurologic Intensive Care Network in China with neonatal systematic information
 mainly including demographic, medical history, family condition, perinatal stage information,
 birth, growth & feeding status, imaging, biological samples and genomics & genetic data on
 neonates born with neonatal severe encephalopathy. It also can predict brain injury as
 cerebral function monitoring through big data and recommend appropriate treatment. There are
 seven children's hospitals from 6 provinces in China to join in the collaboration network in
 first recruiting. In addition, the following biological samples will be collected in a
 bio-bank for future studies: blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples.
