Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| incidence of late onset hyponatremia among neonates less than 32 weeks given prophylactic sodium supplementation versus placeboTimepoint: incidence of late onset hyponatremia among neonates less than 32 weeks given prophylactic sodium supplementation versus placebo | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To study the effect of prophylactic sodium supplementation in preterm neonates less than 32 weeks on their postnatal weight gain, length & head circumference weekly till discharge 2. To study the effect of sodium supplementation on the incidence of adverse effects like feed intolerance, hypernatremia, reopening of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) during study period till discharge 3. To see the rate of supplementation failure, i.e development of hyponatremia (S, Na less than 135 mEq/L ) in the supplemented group till period of supplementation 4. To study the incidence of systemic hypertension at discharge in both the groups 5. To compare the incidence of other prematurity related morbidities like late onset sepsis, chronic lung disease, NEC more than stage II, in-hospital mortality & duration of hospital stay in both the groups. Timepoint: weekly till discharge & during the study period | — |
