ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how late-onset sepsis, an infection that can occur in newborns after the first few days of life, affects motor skills and sensory processing in infants. Researchers want to understand how babies who have had this kind of sepsis develop compared to healthy babies who have not experienced sepsis. They will focus on infants aged 10 to 18 months, a crucial time when children start moving around more and exploring their surroundings.

To participate in the study, infants must be term (born on time) or post-term babies who have had late-onset sepsis. However, the study will not include infants who were born premature or those with certain medical conditions. Families whose infants qualify will have the opportunity to help researchers learn more about the impacts of late-onset sepsis on development, ultimately helping to improve care for future infants.
