Objective: To assess the relationship between 5-min oxygen saturation (SpO2) and outcomes in extremely preterm infants.
Study Design: This cohort study included infants ≤28 weeks' gestation across nine hospitals from 2020 to 2022. Death and / or severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) were compared between infants with 5-min SpO2 < 80% and 80-100% using Poisson regression models.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to see if neonatal complications were linked to death or severe neurodevelopmental impairment in extremely preterm infants who lived to 36 weeks.
- It analyzed data from nearly 3,800 infants born between 22 and 26 weeks gestation at 15 research centers, finding that serious brain injury, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and severe retinopathy were the most significant risks.
- A higher count of these morbidities correlated with increased rates of death or severe neurodevelopmental impairment, with rates jumping from 12.6% for no morbidities to 69.9% for all three.
Article Synopsis
- The eighth annual summary from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) focuses on the latest findings in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care, building on a comprehensive review from 2020.
- This summary is based on the evaluation of recent resuscitation evidence by experts from six different ILCOR task forces, who utilized specific criteria to assess the quality of evidence and reached consensus treatment recommendations.
- The document also identifies key areas where more research is needed, sharing insights into the task forces’ discussions through sections like Justification and Evidence-to-Decision Framework Highlights.
Objectives: Characterize the relationship between infant outcomes and prenatal homelessness, food insecurity and unemployment.
Study Design: California live births between 22- and 44-weeks' gestation comprised 6,089,327 pregnancies (2007-2020). Data were collected from linked Vital Statistics and hospital discharge records.
When a baby is born premature, a landscape of potential problems replaces an imagined future. Outcomes become the measures of success. Researchers are recognizing that we need the direct input of parents to select meaningful outcomes.
