In 2021, Calgary Health Foundation supported a research initiative called The P3 Cohort: Prediction, Prevention and Interventions for Preterm birth. This project addressed the critical need to develop innovative solutions to reduce the healthcare and societal burden of preterm births and recruited nearly 3,000 preterm neonatal participants and their families for a longitudinal study. Preterm birth is a significant cause of neonatal death, brain injury and disability, and is the main determinant of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. This initiative is informing care improvements and helping predict developmental trajectories for infants who are born preterm, thereby supporting families to prepare for their child’s care requirements.
