Morbidity and mortality in late-preterm infants: more than just transient tachypnea!
Concern about higher morbidity in late-preterm (34 0/7 to 36 weeks) infants has led to a flurry of recent publications with largely the same conclusions: latepreterm infants are more prone to problems related to delayed transition and overall immaturity, and they should therefore be treated differently than their more mature term counterparts. These observations have led to greater attention be...
متن کاملAcute respiratory morbidity in late preterm infants
Background Late preterm (LP) infants [gestational age (GA): 3436 weeks] are at increased risk of neonatal acute respiratory morbidity compared with term infants (GA: 3741) [1,2]. The observed rate of acute respiratory morbidity, in a population of about 20,000 LP infants, was 10-12% vs 1.4% of term infants [1]. Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) are...
متن کاملRooming-in organization to prevent neonatal mortality and morbidity in late preterm infants
Despite most infants born at 34+0 through 36+7 weeks’ gestation are thought to be at low risk during the birth hospitalization and have a neonatal course with no significant complications, they are physiologically and metabolically immature with an higher rates of morbidity and mortality than term infants [1]. Most common medical condition associated with latepreterm births are respiratory dist...
متن کاملAnalysis of neonatal morbidity and mortality in late-preterm newborn infants.
OBJECTIVE To compare mortality and the principal intercurrent clinical conditions suffered by late-preterm newborn infants born with gestational ages of 34 full weeks to 36 weeks and 6 days, and full term newborns.

متن کاملGlutamine supplementation to prevent morbidity and mortality in preterm infants.
BACKGROUND Glutamine endogenous biosynthesis may be insufficient for tissue needs in states of metabolic stress. Trials in adults have suggested that glutamine supplementation improves clinical outcomes in critically ill adults. It has been suggested that glutamine supplementation may benefit preterm infants, particularly very low birth weight infants. OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of g...
