Skin-to-skin After Delivery in Preterm Infants Born at 28-32 Weeks of Gestation
This study looks at how premature babies, born between 28 and 32 weeks, respond to skin-to-skin contact with their mothers right after birth. Researchers will compare babies who have skin-to-skin with those who go into an incubator, checking their body functions and movements to see if skin-to-skin makes a difference.

Early Diagnosis of Premature Births by Analysis of the Vaginal Microbiota
This study looks at vaginal swabs from pregnant women to predict early births. Researchers use a special computer program to analyse tiny organisms (microbiota) in the vagina. They hope to find patterns that show if a baby might be born too soon, helping doctors identify at-risk mums.

Interest of Nurse Participation During Epicutaneous-cavity Catheter Placement in Neonatal Intensive Care
This study looks at how involving a trained nurse alongside a doctor might make a common procedure for premature babies (inserting a long-term drip into a vein) quicker and less painful. They want to see if having two healthcare professionals working together helps babies. It's happening in one hospital in France.

NICU Antibiotics and Outcomes (NANO) Follow-up Study
This study looks at whether giving fewer antibiotics to very premature babies soon after birth can improve their development, such as walking, talking, and behaviour, as they grow into toddlers. It's a follow-up to a main study.

Hair Cortisol as Marker of Chronic Stress in Preterm and Term Fathers - Fathair-study
This study looks at stress in new fathers by checking their hair for a stress hormone called cortisol. We compare fathers of babies born early with those whose babies were born on time to understand how stress levels change and if they're linked to anything else.

Neonatal Data and Biobank to Study Factors Influencing Development in Preterm Infants Born at <32 Weeks' Gestation and/or <1500 g Birth Weight
This study, called Neo-Life, aims to understand how very premature babies grow and develop. We're looking at different things that might affect their health and development, both when they're very young and as they get older. The goal is to improve care for these babies.

Fathers and Partners in Family Integrated Care Study
This study looks at how involving fathers and partners more in the care of premature babies affects their mental health. It also checks the mother's mental health. The aim is to improve support for families with babies born early.

Cardiovascular Health Assessment of Preterm- and TERm-born Children
This study looks at how being born prematurely might affect a child's heart and blood vessels as they grow. Researchers want to understand if early heart changes in premature babies continue into childhood and how this relates to their overall heart health.

Air Pollution and Pregnancy
This study looks at how air pollution might affect babies being born early. Researchers will use hospital records and pollution data to create a smart computer model. This model aims to predict when a baby might be born early and figure out when pollution has the biggest impact.
