The Alberta BLOOM Premature Child Study
Sponsor: University of Calgary
Summary
This is a prospective, observational clinical cohort study involving 405 children born premature (at less than 37 weeks gestation) and their mother/parent/guardian. The purpose of the study is to investigate how the microbiome (the collection of microbes in a biological site) of children develops over the first years of life and its associations with the risk of childhood health outcomes including allergies and asthma. The study will also examine how perinatal factors associate with patterns of microbiome development, and their effects on the microbiome, metabolome (the collection of metabolites in a biological sample) and immune development of this population in the first years of life.
