NEC is a serious bowel disease that can occur in premature babies, often requiring surgery and prolonged hospitalisation.\n\nThis study runs alongside the WHEAT International Trial, which investigates whether pausing or continuing milk feeds during blood transfusions affects the risk of NEC in very preterm babies. PREM-IMPACT acts as a nested economic evaluation of the WHEAT Trial, helping to understand whether different feeding practices around transfusion offer good value for money from both the NHS and family perspective.\n\nPREM-IMPACT will collect detailed data on babies' health-related quality of life, as well as the financial, emotional, and social impact on parents and siblings. Families are recruited from neonatal units when their baby is ready to go home and complete questionnaires at three timepoints: 1) just before discharge, 2) six months later, and 3) twelve months later. Questionnaires cover health, wellbeing, healthcare use, and costs to the family (such as travel, time off work, or extra care needs). A dedicated research nurse based at the lead NHS site helps coordinate follow-up centrally.\n\nBy studying families of babies with and without NEC, this project aims to clarify the burden of prematurity and NEC on infant outcomes and family wellbeing. The results will inform future policy decisions, including whether pausing or continuing milk feeds during transfusion should be adopted in routine neonatal care.",[25,26,27,28,29,30],"Prematurity; Extreme","Prematurity; Decision Support","Necrotising Enterocolitis","Preterm","Preterm Birth","Preterm Infant Health",[32,33,34,35,36,37,28,38,39,40],"NEC","Cost-Effectiveness Analysis","Cost-Utility Analysis","Health-Related Quality of Life","HR-QoL","Prematurity","Health Economic Analysis","Financial Impact","Wellbeing","RECRUITING","2026-03-27",{"date":44,"type":45},"2026-03-30","ACTUAL",{"date":47,"type":45},"2025-08-08",{"date":49,"type":21},"2027-10-31",{"name":51,"class":52},"Imperial College London","OTHER",7]
