چکیده
From October 2010 to December 2015, we screened a total of 1716 babies. 809 babies were from well-baby nurseries and 907 babies were from neonatal intensive care unit. 299 babies failed the first screen, but only 66 out of 299 appeared for rescreen. Eighteen babies failed the rescreen and were recommended BERA testing. However, none of the babies turned up for BERA testing or could not be tracked further.

Relationship between Packed Red Blood Cell Transfusion and Severe Form of Necrotizing Enterocolitis: A Case Control Study.

METHODS Case records of 100 preterm neonates, (<34 weeks gestation) who developed necrotizing enterocolitis and 99 random age-and gestation-matched controls were evaluated for any blood transfusion 48 h before onset of nec...
متن کاملWithholding Feeds and Transfusion-Associated Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Preterm Infants: A Systematic Review.
Limited evidence exists to support the withholding of feeds during packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion to reduce the incidence of transfusion-associated necrotizing enterocolitis (TANEC) in preterm infants. The aim of the manuscript was to systematically review studies reporting the effect of implementing a policy of withholding feeds on the incidence of TANEC in preterm infants. The follo...
متن کاملTransfusion associated necrotizing enterocolitis: a meta-analysis of observational data.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Several studies have reported the possibility of an association between recent exposure to transfusion and development of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Our objective was to systematically review and meta-analyze the association between transfusion and NEC (TANEC), identify predictors of TANEC, and the assess impact of TANEC on outcomes. METHODS Medline, Embase, CI...
متن کاملPerforation of the bowel in the newborn as a complication of exchange transfusion.
Spontaneous perforation of the bowel without evidence of intestinal obstruction is reported in six infants who had exchange transfusions for rhesus incompatibility, and in a seventh who had prolonged intravenous fluids via the umbilical vein. The pathological findings resemble those found in acute necrotizing enterocolitis in adults, which is known to be associated with arterial hypotension. Th...
متن کاملRed blood cell transfusion is not associated with necrotizing enterocolitis: a review of consecutive transfusions in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit.
OBJECTIVE To explore the association between red blood cell transfusion and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in a neonatal intensive care unit with liberal transfusion practices. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective cohort study was conducted for all infants weighing <1500 g who received at least 1 packed red blood cell transfusion between January 2008 and June 2013 in a tertiary neonatal intensive ca...
متن کاملNecrotizing enterocolitis in a newborn following intravenous immunoglobulin treatment for haemolytic disease.
ABO iso-immunization is the most frequent haemolytic disease of the newborn. Treatment depends on the total serum bilirubin level, which may increase very rapidly in the first 48 hours of life in cases of haemolytic disease of the newborn. Phototherapy and, in severe cases, exchange transfusion are used to prevent hyperbilirubinaemic encephalopathy. Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) are used t...
