BACKGROUND Neonates born between 24 + 0 and 27 + 6 gestational weeks, widely known as extremely preterm neonates, present a category characterized by increased neonatal mortality and morbidity. Main objective of the present study is to analyze the effect of various epidemiological and pregnancy-related parameters on unfavorable neonatal mortality and morbidity outcomes. METHODS A retrospectiv...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate factors associated with neonatal death within 24 hours after birth in very low birth weight preterm newborns. METHODS Prospective cohort of live births with gestational age of 23(0/7)-31(6/7) weeks, birth weight of 500-1499g without malformations, in 19 public maternity hospitals in nine capitals in northeastern Brazil from July to December 2007.

IMPORTANCE Maternal psychiatric disease is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) during pregnancy has been associated with congenital anomalies, neonatal withdrawal syndrome, and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. However, the risk of stillbirth and infant mortality when accounting for previous maternal psychiatric dise...

OBJECTIVE Although numerous studies have found higher rates of abortion and still births following consanguinity (familial marriages), the question of whether consanguinity significantly increases the risk of neonatal death has inadequately been addressed.This study aims to evaluate familial marriage effects on neonatal death in rural areas in Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this nested case-c...

Several international studies have found higher rates of adverse neonatal outcomes such as neonatal death (within 28 days of birth) and intrapartum death (death during delivery) for babies born on the weekend or during the night. Several methodological limitations in these studies make it difficult to determine whether the difference is attributable to decreased quality of care or more complica...

conclusions both ua and mca doppler tests were associated with some neonatal outcomes. however, sensitivity of both ua and mca assessments was low in the prediction of adverse neonatal outcomes. by the comparison of these two methods, we found that ua doppler assessment is a better predictor of neonatal outcomes. results based on the findings, poor outcomes were detected in 48 women. nearly 17....
