Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study are to investigate whether heart rate variability (HRV) parameters derived from nonlinear time series analysis at five different time points have prognostic utility for assessing the risk of postimmunisation AOP in very preterm/very low birth weight infants immunised in the hospital.
