Scientific title | The Drainage, Irrigation and Fibrinolytic Trial for post-haemorrhagic hydrocephalus in newborn infants: a randomised controlled trial |

Study hypothesis | In infants with post-haemorrhagic ventricular dilatation, treatment by drainage, irrigation and fibrinolytic therapy reduces ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery and disability at 2 years when compared to best standard therapy. On 11/02/2009 the following changes were made to the trial record: 1. The overall trial start date was changed from 28/02/2003 to 01/02/2003. 2. The overall trial end date was changed from 30/06/2009 to 28/02/2009. |
