Background Preterm birth is the leading cause of under-five-mortality worldwide, with highest burden in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim this study was to synthesise evidence-based interventions for preterm low birthweight (LBW) neonates LMICs, their associated neonatal mortality rate (NMR), barriers facilitators implementation. This updates all existing evidence on topic...
BACKGROUND A significant and prolonged decline in the incidence of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), nearing virtual elimination in some centres, has been observed consistently since implementation of a standardised feeding regimen. AIM To systematically review the observational studies reporting incidence of NEC in preterm, low birth weight (LBW) neonates "before" and "after" implementation o...
BACKGROUND The World Health Organization recommends intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) in African regions with moderate to high malaria transmission. However, growing resistance to SP threatens the effectiveness of IPTp-SP, and alternative drugs are needed. This study tested the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of a fixed-dose combination...
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to provide insight into the determinants of low birth weight (LBW) in Italy. METHODS The study was carried out in a non-teaching hospital in Catanzaro (Italy). All LBW and very LBW newborns (200) were included in the study and a random sample of 400 newborns weighing > or = 2500 g was selected. Data were collected from the delivery certificates during o...
BACKGROUND Low birth weight (LBW) infants do not form a homogeneous group; LBW can be caused by prematurity or poor fetal growth manifesting as small for gestational age (SGA) infants or intrauterine growth retardation. We aimed to clarify the relationship of maternal smoking with both SGA and preterm LBW infants. METHODS The study population comprised pregnant women who registered at the Kos...
BACKGROUND Prevention of viable spontaneous preterm birth and low birth weight through screening is one of the key aims of antenatal care as these have implications for the child, mother and society. If women can be identified to be at high risk of these adverse birth outcomes in early pregnancy, they can be targeted for more intensive antenatal surveillance and prophylactic interventions. OB...
INTRODUCTION Immigrant mothers in Spain have a lower risk of delivering Low BirthWeight (LBW) babies in comparison to Spaniards (LBW paradox). This study aimed at revisiting this finding by applying a model-based threshold as an alternative to the conventional definition of LBW. METHODS Vital information data from Madrid was used (2005-2006). LBW was defined in two ways (less than 2500g and W...
BACKGROUND Maternal smoking is associated with low birthweight (LBW). LBW prevalence is increasing in the US. However, it is unclear whether a fall in maternal smoking has any impact on the LBW prevalence in Massachusetts, a state with a comprehensive tobacco control program since 1993. METHODS Temporal patterns in prenatal maternal smoking and in LBW prevalence were quantified between 1989 a...
Background Increasing numbers of HIV-infected pregnant women receive antiretroviral therapy (ART) to prevent mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT). Studies suggested that HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) children face higher mortality than HIV-unexposed children, but evidence mostly relates to the pre-ART era, breastfeeding of limited duration and considerable maternal mortality. Maternal ART and pr...
