RECRUITMENT
We thank the parents and families of babies recruited to the study for their important contribution, particularly at such a stressful and anxious time when their baby is unwell. We also thank parents and families who advised at various stages in the study for their invaluable contribution. We thank for the work, time, and enthusiasm of the site research and clinical staff in making this study happen, their continuous support, and for enabling restart to recruitment following interruption due to the COVID pandemic.

We thank the commitment, work, and dedication of the Trial Steering Committee, Trial Management Group, and Independent Data Monitoring Committee as well as the important input from the Sponsor Team at Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals, in particular Chris Price (Regulatory Compliance Specialist). We thank for the long standing and considerable contribution of members of the Northern Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering Department to the Newcastle Infant Dialysis Ultrafiltration System (NIDUS) project, including Alison Bray and Michael Drinnan.
