Other EC approbation is ongoing.Obstetricians are aware of the study protocol and will inform the neonatologists of high-risk preterm births. Written and oral information will, whenever possible, be offered to parents prior to birth if the mother is at risk for preterm delivery and the infant is likely to be eligible. In cases of spontaneous preterm labor and consequent vaginal delivery, informed consent will be obtained soon after the birth. Informed written consent will be signed by both parents and sufficient time will be provided for consent. If parents do not speak the local language, consent will only be obtained if an adult and independent interpreter is available. Parents will be informed that the study does not entail a blood sample or other more invasive interventions beyond those maneuvers performed regularly in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Informed consent will be obtained by the principal investigator of each participating center and his collaborators in charge.
