Infection in late preterm infants.
Late preterm neonates have unique susceptibilities to infection. The closed setting of the neonatal ICU (NICU) and the immunologic immaturity of premature infants set the state for the development of nosocomial infections. This article discusses infections that might be seen in this population and gives options for diagnosis and treatment.
متن کاملMineral homeostasis in late preterm infants
80% of mineral accretion take place in the third trimester of gestation with a fetal accretion rates of 100-150 mg/ kg/day for calcium, 50-70 mg/kg/day for phosphate and 3 mg/kg/day for magnesium. During the third trimester of gestation fetal weight triples but Ca content quadruples with a faster increase in fetal body Ca accretion from 32 to 40 weeks of gestation [1]. As a result, late preterm...
متن کامل"Late-preterm" infants: a population at risk.
Late-preterm infants, defined by birth at 34(0/7) through 36(6/7) weeks' gestation, are less physiologically and metabolically mature than term infants. Thus, they are at higher risk of morbidity and mortality than term infants. The purpose of this report is to define "late preterm," recommend a change in terminology from "near term" to "late preterm," present the characteristics of late-preter...
متن کاملFuture learning abilities of late preterm infants.
TO THE EDITORS: We read with interest the thought provoking editorial written by Dr Taylor 1 outlining that late preterm (LP) birth, considered as delivery at 32 to 36 6/7 weeks' gestational age, carries risks for adverse effects on those infants' future learning abilities. Dr Taylor confirmed that more information on perinatal factors will increase the precision of estimates of individual risk...
متن کاملHospital readmissions in late preterm infants
Neonatologists generally recognize that late preterm infants face more problems in the immediate newborn period compared with their full-term counterparts. [1,2]. This excess morbidity extends beyond the initial birth hospitalization [3] and the literature recognizes that readmission rates of late preterm infants are 1.5 to 3 times that of term infants [4-7]. In this group of infants, the overw...
