Introduction: Daily urinary output (UOP) serves as important tool to identify acute kidney injury (AKI) in preterm infants. However, reference values for UOP, especially stratified for gestational age (GA), are missing.
Methods: This retrospective single-center study assessed UOP during the first 28 days of life in 128 very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.
Introduction: Premature birth may impair a sensitive, responsive, enjoyable, and regulating parenting style, potentially leading to behavioral, cognitive, and emotional deficits in children. Additionally, the emotional bond between the parent and infant may be disturbed due to the restrictions and difficulties at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), further negatively impacting child development. Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) directly after birth is strongly recommended also for preterm or low birth weight infants since there is high-certainty evidence that SSC has positive effects on neonatal and maternal health as well as on the quality of the parent-child relationship.

- Monochorionic (MC) twins face risks like twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and anemia, leading to potential complications during preterm delivery.
- A study investigated a new method called selective extrauterine placental perfusion (EPP) with delayed umbilical cord clamping (DCC) for the donor twin, aiming to reduce anemia while still managing the recipient's condition.
- The results showed that using this EPP method in three cases successfully maintained healthy hemoglobin levels in the donor twins without needing blood transfusions, suggesting it could improve outcomes in similar situations.
