BACKGROUND: To review the outcomes of premature patients with type C esophageal atresia (EA). METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, charts of patients of type C EA patients were reviewed from 1992 to 2022. Outcomes of premature patients were compared to term patients. Preterm patients were analyzed to compare outcomes of infants with very low birth weights (VLBW) to patients >1,500 g as well as primary versus delayed anastomosis. RESULTS: Among 192 type C EA, 67 were premature...

Early enteral nutrition using reliable biomarkers of intestinal function must be established to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs). Serum citrulline levels reflect the intestinal function in adults. To elucidate the relationship among antenatal growth, postnatal enteral nutrition, and blood citrulline levels, a retrospective single-center observational study was conducted on 248 VLBWIs born between April 2014 and March 2021. A mixed effect model and post hoc simple slope analysis were used to estimate the correlations between clinical variables and citrulline levels at Early (day 5...

(1) Background: Prematurity is a serious condition associated with long-term neurological disability. This study aimed to compare the neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm neonates with or without sepsis. (2) Methods: This single-center retrospective case-control study included infants with birth weight < 1500 g and/or gestational age ≤ 30 weeks. Short-term outcomes, brain MRI findings, and severe functional disability (SFD) at age 24 months were compared between infants with culture-proven or culture-negative sepsis or without sepsis...

OBJECTIVE: To assess prescribing practices and perspectives regarding the use of corticosteroids in the management of neonatal hypotension. METHODS: Cross-sectional questionnaire-based electronic survey of neonatologists (n = 206) practicing at tertiary neonatal intensive care units across 30 academic centres in Canada. RESULTS: The overall response rate was 33% (72/206), with a completion rate was 94%. Most (48/72, 64%) worked in a unit that covered both inborn and outborn infants, and 53% (37/70) worked in units with >100 very low birth weight infants admitted annually...

We aimed to establish reference ranges for USCOM parameters in preterm infants, determine factors that affect cardiac output, and evaluate the measurement repeatability. This retro-prospective study was performed at Fondazione IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori, Monza, Italy. We included infants below 32 weeks of gestational age (GA) and/or 1500 g of birth weight (BW). We excluded infants with congenital heart diseases or hemodynamic instability. Measurements were performed at 3 ± 1, 7 ± 2, and 14 ± 2 postnatal days...

Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is one of the major causes of pre-term mortality and morbidity among very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWI) in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Some of the neonates pass away despite admission and care in intensive care units (ICUs). The present clinical trial seeks the application value of elevating oxygen saturation in the brain cells of pre-term neonates born with NRDS. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to monitor the neonates' microscopic cerebral oxygenation levels do determine hemoglobin concentration in brain tissues, whereas the pulse oximetry was used to measure oxygenation levels among the patients...

Blood culture proven sepsis is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Given the extended hospitalization of very preterm infants, catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSIs) play a substantial role in sepsis. The reported incidence of CRBSIs in neonates varies from 3.2 to 21.8 CRBSIs per 1000 catheter line days. Moreover, discrepancies in neonatal practices and potential neglect may lead to the unwarranted prolongation of central lines. This study aims to compare two distinct periods (Pre-QI vs...

AIM: To evaluate the impact of late-onset sepsis (LOS) on the neurodevelopment of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) premature infants. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study of VLBW premature infants. The Mental Development Index (MDI) was determined for a population of 546 VLBW infants, at 14 and 25 months of age, and evaluated using the Bayley test. A history of meningitis or early neonatal sepsis was considered an exclusion criterion. The study parameters analyzed included perinatal variables, the development of neonatal comorbidities and a history of LOS...

BACKGROUND: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is an important cause of neurodevelopmental impairment in preterm infants. A number of risk factors for IVH have already been proposed; however, some controversies regarding optimal perinatal management persist. This study aimed to identify perinatal and neonatal attributes associated with IVH in a representative population of preterm infants. METHODS: Perinatal data on 1,279 very preterm infants (<32 weeks of gestation) admitted to a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit were analyzed...

BACKGROUND: Longer hospitalizations for preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) delay developmental outcomes, increase the risk for hospital-acquired complications, and exert a substantial socioeconomic burden. This study aimed to identify factors associated with an extended length of stay (LOS) at different levels of severity of BPD.

BACKGROUND: Infants born at extremely preterm gestational ages are typically admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after initial resuscitation. The subsequent hospital course can be highly variable, and despite counseling aided by available risk calculators, there are significant challenges with shared decision-making regarding life support and transition to end-of-life care. Improving predictive models can help providers and families navigate these unique challenges. OBJECTIVE: Machine learning methods have previously demonstrated added predictive value for determining intensive care unit outcomes, and their use allows consideration of a greater number of factors that potentially influence newborn outcomes, such as maternal characteristics...

BACKGROUND: Pump-dependent mothers of very low birth weight (VLBW, < 1500g) infants experience specific challenges achieving sufficient milk supply in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and are therefore less frequently able to achieve (exclusive) breast milk feeding. Stress due to the limitations on participating in the infant's care may contribute to this problem. Some explorative studies suggest that pressure to provide milk may be an additional stressor in mothers...

BACKGROUND: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the leading cause of child blindness. Preterm newborns of very low gestational age (GA) and very low birth weight are at the greatest risk. Our objective was to evaluate the role of genetic variants associated with ROP risk and its comorbidities in an Argentinian sample of premature infants.

We study the effects of women's school starting age on the infant health of their offspring. In Spain, children born in December start school a year earlier than those born the following January, despite being essentially the same age. We follow a regression discontinuity design to compare the health at birth of the children of women born in January versus the previous December, using administrative, population-level data. We find small and insignificant effects on average weight at birth, but, compared to the children of December-born mothers, the children of January-born mothers are more likely to have very low birthweight...

Premature birth can increase the level of parenting stress (PS), especially in the case of parents of high-risk infants (extremely low birth weight (ELBW) and very low birth weight (VLBW)). Though published research has explored how maternal PS influences early dyadic interactions, limited research has focused on infant-directed speech (IDS), and no studies have investigated the link between prematurity severity based on birth weight and maternal IDS. This study, involving 100 mother-infant dyads, categorized into 30 ELBW premature infants, 30 VLBW premature infants, and 40 full-term (FT) ones, examined the impact of preterm birth weight and maternal parenting stress on IDS features during early interactions at 3 and 9 months postpartum...
