Objectives To compare the effect of liberal versus restrictive transfusion strategies on the proportion of time (%time) spent with intermittent hypoxaemia (IH, ie, arterial haemoglobin oxygen ...

Conclusions More surviving preterm infants are receiving respiratory support at 36 and 40 weeks PMA. However, a large proportion of infants born 24–27 weeks of gestation transition to no respiratory ...

Objective To quantify regional and unit variations in antibiotic use during the first week of life, incidence of early-onset sepsis (EOS) and mortality in late-preterm and term newborns in Sweden.

Objective Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of neonatal deaths in Asia but data remain scarce. We aimed to investigate the causative organisms and antibiotic resistance in neonatal care units in China, ...

Background Early-onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease in newborns. C reactive protein (CRP) is the most used laboratory biomarker for the detection of EOS.

Objective To establish normative ranges for fetal brain volume (FBV) and investigate its relationship with gestational age, using MRI to improve the understanding of fetal brain development. Design A ...

Context In spontaneously breathing preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) receiving nasal continuous positive airway pressure, a method of less invasive surfactant administration ...

Neonatal thrombocytopenia is a common clinical problem. Thrombocytopenia presenting in the first 72 hours of life is usually secondary to placental insufficiency and caused by reduced platelet ...
