Developmental haemostasis in moderate and late preterm infants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction The term “developmental haemostasis” was first coined by Maureen Andrews to describe the age-related physiological changes of the coagulation system during childhood.[1] Given the age-dependent specificity of haemostasis, the evaluation and the interpretation of coagulation assays in newborns may present diagnostic difficulties and appropriate reference ranges for the diagnosis and management of coagulopathies in moderate and late preterm infants are needed.

Long-term outcomes of moderately preterm, late preterm, and early term infants.
At present, moderate preterm (MPT) infants born at 32 to 33 weeks' gestation and late preterm (LPT) infants born at 34 to 36 weeks' gestation make up the largest subgroup of preterm infants and contribute to more than 80% of premature births in the United States. There is increasing evidence that both MPT and LPT infants are at increased risk of neurologic impairments, developmental disabilitie...
متن کاملThe predictive value of early oral motor assessments for neurodevelopmental outcomes of moderately and late preterm infants
Oral motor assessment is used to identify abnormal sucking patterns which may reflect neurodevelopmental problems in preterm infants, but few studies have focused on moderately and late preterm infants. We enrolled 118 moderately and late preterm infants (mean gestational age, 35.04 weeks; mean birth weight, 2347.59 g) and analyzed the relationship between the Neonatal Oral-Motor Assessment Sca...
متن کاملIntraventricular hemorrhage and neurodevelopmental outcomes in extreme preterm infants.
OBJECTIVE Not many large studies have reported the true impact of lower-grade intraventricular hemorrhages in preterm infants. We studied the neurodevelopmental outcomes of extremely preterm infants in relation to the severity of intraventricular hemorrhage. METHODS A regional cohort study of infants born at 23 to 28 weeks' gestation and admitted to a NICU between 1998 and 2004. Primary outco...
متن کاملAssessment of Preterm Infants Using the Bayley-III Scales in Korea
Objective To assess the well-being of preterm newborns using the Bayley-III scales in a Korean-based population, and to evaluate the perinatal risk factors influencing developmental outcome. Methods Using the Bayley-III scales, we assessed 120 preterm infants who were referred for evaluation of neurodevelopmental performance. We subdivided them into an extremely preterm group (n=18) and a ver...
متن کاملNeurodevelopmental Outcome of Late Preterm Infants at 12 Months of Age
Background: Late-preterm infants (34-36+6 weeks’ gestation) are often believed to have no higher risks for morbidity and mortality than term infants. This study aims to evaluate the neurodevelopmental outcome of late preterm infants at 12 months of age, compared to term infants. Methods: Neurodevelopmental assessment was administered using the Bayley Scale of Infant Development. Eighty particip...
