| Primary study outcomes: 1) PK properties of three groups of drugs in a prospective cohort of patients: Group I: Antibiotic medications Group II: Analgesic medications Group III:Sedative and anti-epileptic drugs 2) PD parameters : -anti-epileptic drugs: successful seizure control (anti-epileptics), -sedative drugs: measuring newborn stress using the Comfort Scale. -antibiotics: adequate treatment of perinatal infection shown by negative repeat blood culture, normalisation of C-reactive protein and leukocyte counts (antibiotics), - determination of the MIC -value of cultured microorganisms to evaluate antibiotic susceptibility -or resistance. 3) possible side effects:(e.g. gentamyxcin) -(acute) drug effects on end organs such as liver, kidney, bone marrow, -(long-term outcome) hearing screening at 3 months of age including the ALGO newborn hearing screening. | — |
