Objective:to analyze reasons for low enrollment in a randomized controlled trial (rct) of the effect of hydrocortisone for cardiovascular insufficiency on survival without neurodevelopmental impairment (ndi) in term/late preterm newborns.study design:the original study was a multicenter rct. eligibility: ⩾34 weeks’ gestation, <72 h old, mechanically ventilated, receiving inotrope. primary outcome was ndi at 2 years; infants with diagnoses at high risk for ndi were excluded. this paper presents an analysis of reasons for low patient enrollment.results:two hundred and fifty-seven of the 932 otherwise eligible infants received inotropes; however, 207 (81%) had exclusionary diagnoses. only 12 infants were randomized over 10 months; therefore, the study was terminated. contributing factors included few eligible infants after exclusions, open-label steroid therapy and a narrow enrollment window.conclusion:despite an observational study to estimate the population, very few infants were enrolled. successful rcts of emergent therapy may require fewer exclusions, a short-term primary outcome, waiver of consent and/or other alternatives.
