UKOS 3 has assessed the first 20 young people
UKOS and lung function
The first 20 young people have had their lung function measured as part of the UKOS 3 study. It has been a pleasure to meet these exceptional people who are helping to to further our understanding of how to provide the best care to babies born prematurely.
We are hoping to see another 230
We are delighted with the start we have made but still have a long way to go. The larger the number of people we can measure, the better conclusions we can draw from the study.
The results of this study will help shape neonatal care in the future
UKOS 3 is unique in that it is looking at how things we do when babies are first born, affect lung development into adulthood. Such long-term studies are rare yet increasingly important to improve care in a complex population of small babies.

Having more than one baby in a pregnancy increases the risk of premature delivery. Several twins, triplets and quadruplets took part in the UKOS trial. Meeting these guys was a pleasure and we all had a great day.
Getting involved in UKOS 3
We would like to invite all those who have not yet been assessed at 16-18 years old to participate. If you would like to be involved, please drop us an email or give us a call. We will provide transport and accommodation if needed. We will also give you a £20 Amazon voucher to say thank you for your time.
