Abstract:

Although very low birth weight preterm (VLBW) infants with grade 3,4 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) are at high risk for unfavorable visual outcomes, the middle school vision motor integration (VMI) skills and cognitive outcome scores of these children remain largely unknown. Data for 323 very VLBW survivors of the Multicenter Randomized Indomethacin IVH Prevention Trial (BW 600 1250 g) were analyzed to test the hypothesis that grades 3, 4 ROP would be an important predictor of cognitive and VMI skills. 3 subgroups were evaluated: ROP negative (N = 163), ROP grades 1,2 (N = 137) and ROP grad

Abstract:

Premature infants represent 7% of all births in the UK and have higher rates of vaccine preventable infections. National recommendations for vaccine schedules focus predominantly on term infants. We aimed to assess the immunogenicity of the UK immunisation schedule in preterm infants randomising infants to 3 different PCV13 primary schedules and using data from the randomized controlled trial and a pooled data metaanalysis of preterm vaccine studies to identify factors affecting vaccine responses.

Abstract:

Background. Improvements in postnatal care provided in neonatal intensive care units have resulted in increasing survive percentage of children born at the limits of viability. A large number of premature infants experienced major impairment and/or minor neurodevelopmental disabilities, such as cognitive, psychiatric and motor disorders. The etiology of these developmental deficits still remains not completely understood, but they may be the result of neonatal brain injury as well of interruption of the normal process of brain maturation that occurs during the last trimester of pregnancy, a cr

Abstract:

Establishing breastfeeding in the infant born prematurely remains one of the most important challenges to neonatal midwives. Many obstacles stand in the way of mothers becoming successful in this art; probably the most notable being unit guidelines established through anecdotal rather than evidence based on information. Difficulties arise in gathering "evidence" and this may in some part account for the lack of literature on breastfeeding and the preterm infant. Earlier studies indicate that breastfeeding premature infants regulate feeding differently to bottle feeding infants but these qualit

Specifically, the research question for this study was: what patterns of pulse rate, respiratory rate and behavior, are associated with massage?

Abstract:

The survival rate of premature infants is increasing. As such protective factors against cognitive and behavioural developmental impairments associated with prematurity need to be identified and understood in order to promote healthy infant development. Quality of parent-infant interaction may be a protective factor over and above other mediators such as sociodemographic and neonatal medical risks. Most research has considered the mothers' experience of having a premature infant and the quality of mother-infant interaction on infant outcomes. Evidence suggests that father involvement and inter

Abstract:

Human milk fortification is recommended to meet the nutritional requirements of preterm infants. Most human milk fortifiers (HMFs) contain non-protein energy (NPE) predominantly as carbohydrate which may lead to high fat deposition relative to lean mass accretion. We hypothesized that fortifying human milk with a HMF containing NPE predominantly as fat (fatHMF) would result in a higher (1) lean mass accretion (percent lean mass) and (2) growth (anthropometry), compared to fortifying with an isocaloric, isonitrogenous HMF containing NPE predominantly as carbohydrate (carbHMF).

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to assess if preterm infants receiving an intervention of intermittent human tactile contact would demonstrate clinical improvement over infants who did not receive the intervention. A quasi-experimental design was used with 26 infants between 28 and 32 weeks gestation. Hands were placed on the infants' heads and lower backs for a total of 36 minutes of tactile contact a day for 10 days. Findings indicated a significant gain in mean body weight for both groups between Day 0 and Day 10. Also, there was a significant decrease in mean hematocrit in the control group

Abstract:

Background. Due to the increase in the rate of premature birth in the U.K., research into investigating psychological distress in parents of premature infants is clinically important. It has been identified that there is an absence of research in the area of psychological distress (anxiety, depression and trauma) in parents, particularly in fathers' of premature infants. Attachment theory states that templates of personal attachment are repeated from parents to children. Parents who have difficulty in forming an attachment with their newborn may be more likely to be psychologically distressed.

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] There is a large body of evidence describing the benefits and risks, to the human fetus, of antenatal glucocorticoid treatment, but no published research on the effects on lactation. The withdrawal of progesterone, in the presence of high levels of endogenous glucocorticoids and prolactin, triggers the onset of copious milk secretion (lactogenesis II) at the end of pregnancy. The alteration of lactogenesis II by exogenous glucocorticoids could potentially have adverse impacts on postnatal nutrition in both term and preterm infants.

There is sparse literature about HIV transmission in preterm infants. Eighty-two HIV-exposed preterm infants received birth polymerase chain reactions (PCRs). Five (6.1%) were HIV positive with all 5 mothers receiving inadequate antiretrovirals. Of the PCRnegative infants, 9 died and 87% of the survivors received further PCR testing which remained negative. With correct care, intrapartum transmission of HIV can virtually be eliminated.

Abstract:

It is generally acknowledged that infants born very preterm are at a high risk of developmental delay. It has been suggested that the first few months of life ex-utero might constitute a "sensitive period" during which growth rate could influence later outcome measures including cognitive development. This study investigated the early growth of a sample of 90 infants born very preterm and the developmental status (at 18 months of age) of 81 of those infants (mean gestational age 29.4 weeks; mean birth weight 1283g). Two main issues were addressed. One concerned the relative contribut

Infants’ sleep problems, especially, nighttime awakenings, are common concerns of parents and may have developmental implications for infants, particularly infants born prematurely. Between one quarter and one third of all children aged six months to five years of age experience sleeping problems. Many factors have been associated with the development of these problems, although none has been shown to be causal. Although theorists have hypothesized that insecure attachment between a mother and her child may lead to intense maternal involvement at bedtime (e.g., active physical comforting), whi

In Hong Kong, the rate of prematurity is in an increasing trend, from 4.7% in 1999 to 5.1% in 2004 (Tertiary-wide Obstetric & Gynecology Audit Report, 2004). Preterm infants are usually required to hospitalize in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) which expose them to certain stressors such as noise, caregiver procedure, medical manipulations and pain (Harrison et al., 2003). Stress would lead to certain illnesses likes metabolic and cardiovascular disorders (Caldji, Diorio, & Meaney, 2000). Facing stress of preterm infants not only affects the
