This study looks at how certain proteins and factors from mothers might affect septic shock in premature babies. Septic shock is a serious condition where infection leads to very low blood pressure and organ failure. Researchers will collect blood samples from mothers before childbirth and from the baby's umbilical cord at birth. They will analyze these samples to find proteins that might be linked to septic shock. This can help predict and prevent septic shock, which is important for the health of premature babies.
- The study involves mothers and their babies born at or before 32 weeks of pregnancy.
- Blood samples will be collected before birth and at delivery.
- Participants must be born in the hospital conducting the study and not have certain medical conditions.
