Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed data from over 81,500 Trisomy 21 infants, revealing that 45% had CHD and significant percentages also had gastrointestinal anomalies like small intestinal atresia and Hirschsprung disease.
- * The research concluded that having CHD in infants with Trisomy 21 is linked to a higher likelihood of simultaneous gastrointestinal anomalies, suggesting a relevant pattern of coexistence.
Background And Objectives: The use of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in +late preterm and term infants with pulmonary hypertension is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved and has improved outcomes and survival. iNO use is not FDA approved for preterm infants and previous studies show no mortality benefit. The objectives were 1) to determine the usage of iNO among preterm neonates <35 weeks before and after the 2010 National Institutes of Health consensus statement and 2) to evaluate characteristics and outcomes among preterm neonates who received iNO.

Objective: To determine the recent, 2000-2018, prevalence, mortality, outcomes, and healthcare utilization of infants admitted at ≤28 days of life with EA in comparison to other critical congenital heart defects (CCHD) in the United States using a national data set.
Objectives: Transposition of the great arteries is the most common cyanotic congenital heart defect. Surgical correction usually occurs in the first week of life; presence of restrictive interatrial communication and severe hypoxemia warrants urgent intervention with balloon atrial septostomy and medical stabilization prior to surgery. The main objective of this study is to compare the characteristics, outcomes, and mortality risks in patients with transposition of the great arteries who underwent balloon atrial septostomy during their hospitalization versus transposition of the great arteries patients who have not undergone this procedure.

Study Design: Data was queried from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) and KID database from 2004 to 2014. Infants were included if diagnosed with CDH by ICD-9 coding and gestational age <37 weeks.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare outcomes of infants pre and post initiation of a feeding protocol providing an exclusive human milk-based diet (HUM).
Materials And Methods: In a multicenter retrospective cohort study, infants with a birth weight <1,250 g who received a bovine-based diet (BOV) of mother's own milk fortified with bovine fortifier and/or preterm formula were compared to infants who received a newly introduced HUM feeding protocol. Infants were excluded if they had major congenital anomalies or died in the first 12 hours of life.
