Cranial sonography and neurological examination of extremely preterm infants.
Fifty-one extremely preterm infants were studied to ascertain whether there is an association between sonographic abnormalities and neurological examination at term, controlling for factors such as low birthweight and chronic lung-disease. Their mean birthweight was 956g and mean gestational age was 27.9 weeks. Sonography was performed at least once during the first week, twice within the first...
متن کاملPulmonary and neurological follow-up of extremely preterm infants.
The long-term consequences of extreme prematurity assume more importance as survival rates increase. Pulmonary problems are common immediately after birth and most extremely preterm (EP) infants (<28 weeks' gestation) require respiratory support. Many survivors develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia and some have long-term oxygen dependency, occasionally for years. Their brain has to respond to an ...
متن کاملCranial ultrasound and MRI at term age in extremely preterm infants.
OBJECTIVES Conventional MRI at term age has been reported to be superior to cranial ultrasound (cUS) in detecting white matter (WM) abnormalities and predicting outcome in preterm infants. However, in a previous study cUS was performed during the first 6 weeks only and not in parallel to MRI at term age. Therefore, the aim of the present work was to study brain injuries in preterm infants perfo...
متن کاملChorioamnionitis and outcome in extremely preterm infants.
INTRODUCTION Chorioamnionitis is a risk factor for preterm delivery. Intrauterine infection leads to the fetal inflammatory response which is characterised by elevated cytokine levels. Chorioamnionitis is reported to cause accelerated but abnormal lung maturation, resulting in decreased incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) but increased chronic lung disease (CLD), and predisposes th...
متن کاملThe management of extremely preterm infants
Extreme prematurity is associated with an increased risk of mortality, morbidities and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment. Optimizing prenatal, perinatal and postnatal care is essential to improve long-term outcome of extremely preterm babies. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) has been associated with a poorer neurological outcome and prenatal care should aim to an optimal balance bet...
