Population based trends in mortality, morbidity and treatment for very preterm- and very low birth weight infants over 12 years
BACKGROUND Over the last two decades, improvements in medical care have been associated with a significant increase and better outcome of very preterm (VP, < 32 completed gestational weeks) and very low birth weight (VLBW, < 1500 g) infants. Only a few publications analyse changes of their short-term outcome in a geographically defined area over more than 10 years. We therefore aimed to investi...
متن کامل[Antenatal corticosteroid therapy and late preterm infant morbidity and mortality].
INTRODUCTION Late preterm infants (34-36 weeks gestation) have a morbidity rate significantly higher than those born at term. However, few interventions have been undertaken to reduce this increased morbidity and mortality. Antenatal corticosteroid administration could be an effective preventive measure. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe the morbidity associated with late premat...
متن کاملGender Differences in Respiratory Morbidity and Mortality of Preterm Neonates
For the past century, researchers have underscored the "disadvantage" observed in respiratory morbidity and mortality of male newborns. In this contemporary review, we examine gender differences in preterm infant respiratory morbidity and mortality specifically appraising differences in the very low birth weight (VLBW) population as well as the late preterm (LPT) population. In the era of postn...
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...
متن کاملLower mortality but higher neonatal morbidity over a decade in very preterm infants.
Better perinatal care has led to better survival of very preterm children, but may or may not have increased the number of children with cerebral and pulmonary morbidity. We therefore investigated the relationship between changes in perinatal care during one decade, and short-term outcome in very preterm infants. Perinatal risk factors and their effects on 28-day and in-hospital mortality, and ...
