Study information

Study design	Multicentre, randomised, double-blind, active controlled, parallel group trial
Primary study design	Interventional
Secondary study design	Randomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)	Hospital
Study type	Treatment
Scientific title	The use of autologous cord blood for anaemia of prematurity
Study acronym	PUCB
Study objectives	Can allogeneic red cell transfusions for preterm/very low birth weight newborns be reduced and is this associated with favourable outcome of usual neonatal complications (infections, cerebral bleeding, duration of assisted ventilation and death) resulting in shortening of the need of vital support necessitating Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) care.
Ethics approval(s)	Received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Anaemia of prematurity
Intervention	Transfusion of autologous red cord blood cell concentrate versus transfusion of stored allogeneic red blood cell concentrates.
Intervention type	Other
Primary outcome measure	1. Proportion of patients who received allogeneic transfusions and the total volume of administered allogeneic red cells 2. Days of support of vital functions in the NICU
Secondary outcome measures	1. Days of assisted ventilation support 2. Cumulative complication incidence (infections, cerebral events) 3. Length of hospital stay 4. Mortality 5. Feasibility of erythrocyte collection from cord blood 6. Costs of transfusions 7. Costs of care 8. Two-year and five-year neurodevelopmental follow-up
Overall study start date	01/12/2004
Completion date	01/12/2007
