Eosinophilia in very low birth weight infants.

BACKGROUND Eosinophilia is common in premature infants, though its clinical significance remains unknown. This study investigated the pattern of eosinophilia and related factors in very low birth-weight (VLBW) infants. METHODS The medical records of VLBW infants (birth body weight < 1500 g) admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary care center of Cheng Kung University Hospita...

Weight gain velocity in very low-birth-weight infants: effects of exposure to biological maternal sounds.

OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of biological maternal sounds (BMS) on weight gain velocity in very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants (≤ 1,500 g). STUDY DESIGN An exploratory study with a matched-control design. A prospective cohort of VLBW infants exposed to attenuated recordings of BMS during their neonatal intensive care unit hospitalization were compared with retrospective controls matched...

Nutrition of very low birth-weight infants

Background Numerous studies have underlined the importance of early feeding on shortand long-term development of very low birth-weight (VLBW) neonates [1,2]. Nutrition of preterm infants may be divided in two subsequent periods: the early adaptive or “transition” period from birth to the second week of life followed by the “stable-growing” period up to discharge from the neonatal unit. Dependin...

Metabolic Bone Disease in Very Low-Birth-Weight Neonates

Background: Metabolic bone diseases (MBD), including rickets and osteopenia, are important neonatal complications among preterm infants. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of MBD in neonates with very low birth weight (VLBW). Methods: This prospective study was conducted on VLBW infants from January 2012 to July 2013. Inclusion criteria were birth weight of ≤1500 g a...

RECOMBINANT ERYTHROPOIETIN AND BLOOD TRANSFUSION IN VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS

 ABSTRACT Background: Very low birth weight infants ( <1500 g) frequently require blood transfusions because of repeated blood sampling accompanied by anemia of prematurity. Methods: In an attempt to identify the effect of human recombinant erythropoietin to decrease the requirement for blood transfusions, erythropoietin was administered to 24 pre term infants less than 1500 g prospectively fro...
