Osteopenic fractures in Preterm Infants <1500 Grams -
Introduction: Preterm infants, with a gestational age <29 weeks are at high risk to suffer from osteopenia of prematurity (39%) and may develop spontaneous fractures in 2%-10%. In addition to an insufficient prenatal bone mineralization, the inadequate supplementation with calcium/phosphorus and vitamin D3, immobility, prolonged parenteral nutrition and adverse effects of steroids or diuretics ...
متن کاملMortality and neonatal morbidity among infants 501 to 1500 grams from 2000 to 2009.
OBJECTIVE To identify changes in mortality and neonatal morbidities for infants with birth weight 501 to 1500 g born from 2000 to 2009. METHODS There were 355806 infants weighing 501 to 1500 g who were born in 2000-2009. Mortality during initial hospitalization and major neonatal morbidity in survivors (early and late infection, chronic lung disease, necrotizing enterocolitis, severe retinopa...
متن کاملWeight Growth Velocity and Postnatal Growth Failure in Infants 501 to 1500 Grams: 2000-2013.
BACKGROUND Very low birth weight infants often gain weight poorly and demonstrate growth failure during the initial hospitalization. Although many of the major morbidities experienced by these infants during their initial NICU stays have decreased in recent years, it is unclear whether growth has improved. METHODS We studied 362 833 infants weighing 501 to 1500 g without major birth defects b...
متن کاملRECOMBINANT 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...
متن کاملBlood transfusions and human recombinant erythropoietin in premature newborn infants.
Transfusion with concentrated erythrocytes is a common form of treatment in many very premature infants. It is estimated that over 80% of infants requiring intensive care have received at least one blood transfusion as part of their treatment, and 37% more than two.' Frequent blood transfusions expose the infants to multiple donors. One survey reported that infants who were given more than one ...
