Abstract:

ObjectiveHigher rates of neonatal morbidity and mortality at term combined with earlier spontaneous delivery have led to the hypothesis that babies born to South Asian born (SA-born) women may mature earlier and/or their placental function decreases earlier than babies born to Australian and New Zealand born (Aus/NZ-born) women. Whether babies born to SA-born women do better in the preterm period, however, has yet to be evaluated. In this study we investigated respiratory outcomes, indicative of functional maturity, of preterm babies born to SA-born women compared with those of Aus/NZ-born wom

Abstract:

Most research on outcomes of preterm birth has centred on babies born at <32 weeks gestation and at highest risk of mortality and serious morbidity. Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in studies focusing on late preterm infants (34–36 weeks gestation). Early epidemiological studies demonstrated increased risks of mortality and adverse neonatal outcomes in this group, prompting further investigations. These increased risks have been confirmed and more recent studies have also included babies born at 37–38 weeks, now defined as ‘early-term’ births. It now seems that it is inappropriat

Spontaneous preterm birth accounts for about 75% of all preterm births; however, at earlier gestations iatrogenic preterm birth accounts for a greater proportion of all preterm births; at 27–28 weeks 50% are iatrogenic.

Among preterm infants, the risk of developing asthma is a matter of debate. This review discusses the state of the art of poorly understood prematurity-associated asthma. Impaired pulmonary function is common in children born prematurely. Preterm infants are prone to developing viral respiratory tract infections, bronchiolitis in the first year of life, and recurrent viral wheezing in preschool age. All of these conditions may precede asthma development. We also discuss the role of both atopic sensitization and intestinal microbiome and, consequently, immune maturation. Diet and pollution have

Abstract:

AbstractPersistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a condition that occurs due to increased resistance to blood vessels in the lungs that occur persistently after the baby is born. This can be attributed to congenital heart disease such as right-to-left shunts through foramen ovale (PFO) or patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) due to an error transition fetal blood circulation to the neonate. Although PPHN is always associated with births in post-term babies, PPHN cases are often found in preterm babies. Chances of babies born with PPHN are quite large, at 1.9% per 1000 live births.

Background: Low socioeconomic status has generally been associated with adverse birth outcomes worldwide. Adverse birth outcomes significantly contribute to perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide with some literatures showing conflicting results.

Background/Aim. Preterm birth and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) could affect optical and biometric features of eyes and cause refractive errors. The aim of this study was to compare the ocular axial length, anterior chamber depth and lens thickness changes during the first year in preterm born babies with and without ROP. Methods. This prospective longitudinal study included 87 preterm born babies. The examinations were performed at 3 and 12 months after birth and included fundus examination and measurements of the ocular axial length, anterior chamber depth and lens thickness. Based on the

Abstract:

Preterm birth is a global health issue, with approximately 15million babies born before 37 weeks gestation of pregnancy annually worldwide. This research used a qualitative descriptive approach and thematic analysis to explore women’s experiences of becoming mothers when their preterm babies were hospitalised in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Set against the context of COVID-19, women’s experiences are characterised by feelings of ‘when something feels wrong’, ‘separation’, ‘guilt’ and ‘pressure to provide breastmilk’. Women valued gestures from professionals offering support to feel c

Abstract:

Background: A baby’s weight at birth is a strong indicator of newborn health and nutrition. Low birth weight (LBW) babies are more susceptible to morbidities and mortality in early neonatal period than normal birth weight (NBW) babies. Among neonatal deaths, 80% occurs in LBW / preterm babies and 75% of total neonatal deaths occur in early neonatal period. The present study was undertaken to know the incidence and early neonatal outcome of LBW babies in rural area.Methods: Prospective observational study was conducted in babies born with <2.5 kg (LBW) birth weight.Results: The incidence of

Polyamines modulate gut maturation in neonates, but no studies are available on polyamine concentration in human milk of preterm babies, even though they could be important for their immature gut. The present study aimed to determine polyamine concentration in human breast milk of mothers with preterm or term infants during the first month of lactation.

Introduction: Late preterm babies are defined as those born between 34 to 36 completed weeks. There has been a recent increased awareness that this group of babies has a higher incidence of morbidity as compared to term babies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term morbidities occurring in this group of babies managed in the neonatal unit at Singapore General Hospital (SGH). Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was done of babies managed in the neonatal unit at SGH from January 2005 to December 2008.

Abstract:

Worldwide, 15 million babies are “born too soon” every year (Blencowe et al., 2012; Howson et al., 2013). Remarkably, prematurity survival rates now exceed 93% across all countries. More than 360,000 preterm babies survived in the United States in 2020; 10% of all births (Blencowe et al., 2012; Howson et al., 2013). While this is an incredible achievement, preterm birth places the developing infant in a particularly vulnerable state for life-long adverse developmental outcomes. Due to improved survival rates, developmental disabilities, including hearing, visual, motor, cognitive, speech-langu

Introduction: Preterm birth, defined as childbirth occurring at less than 37 completed weeks or 259days of gestation since the first day of a woman’s last menstrual period, is one of the leading causesof neonatal morbidity and mortality. Across 184 countries, the rate of preterm birth ranges from 5%to 18% of babies born. Out of 27 million babies born every year (2018 data ) in India, 3.5 millionbabies born are premature.

Abstract:

Premature birth is a serious medical and socio-economic problem. It is the most common cause of neonatal mortality in developed countries. 10-12% of all pregnancies end with premature birth. Most of preterm infants develop respiratory complications. Premature born babies need special conditions of care and care by specially trained medical staff.Health care for premature infants is complex process. This process involves the need of care for mother during pregnancy. When premature birth is a fact, care depends of the weight of infant, complications and deceases outcome of preterm birth. The rol

Background: Advances in neonatal care since the early days have led to an increase of survival in preterm infants. Developmental sequelae, however are still a major problem mostly because babies who would previously have been expected to die are now surviving due to neonatal intensive care. There is scarcity of data regarding the outcome of prematurity from low and middle-income countries like India in literature.Methods: 140 preterm babies born at or before 34 weeks of gestation were enrolled and followed up for 1 year.
