And then there were 42! We are up to 42 clinical sites and over 800 patients that are entered into our database! Looking forward to catching up with collaborators and talking more about this project next week at #PASMeeting @babykidney.bsky.social

And then there were EIGHTH! We now have 8 centers and 3 countries represented in our study with now the first 20 patients entered into our database. We anticipate 4 more sites coming on this week. Exciting times!

Can’t wait to have you all on board!!

As of today we officially welcomed Indiana University (the home institution for this work!) along with SIU and @uabpediatrics.bsky.social and officially had our first patient entered in the database!

AWAKEN 2.0 is a multi-center retrospective cohort study using similar methodology as the original AWAKEN study, enrolling a cohort of children born five years after the original AWAKEN cohort (2019). We are still recruiting site (a map of our current cohort of >100 locations in >30 countries).

Today we officially launched AWAKEN 2.0 - a study that we hope will improve our understanding of neonatal kidney disease both in the NICU and beyond. We plan to use this account to update on our study progress, share milestones and information and eventually share our results!
