What this Trial Is About
The aim of this observational study is to investigate whether functional maturation assessment by electroencephalography in preterm infants can provide reliable data for the safe discontinuation of caffeine therapy without recurrence of apnea. In preterm infants receiving caffeine therapy, an assessment of maturation will be performed by EEG at the time when discontinuation of caffeine treatment is planned.
