Birth during on-call period: Impact of care organization on mortality and morbidity of very premature neonates.

Objectives: The evidence that risks of morbidity and mortality are higher when very premature newborns are born during the on-call period is inconsistent. This study aimed to assess the impact of this situation among other determinants of outcomes, particularly newborn characteristics and care organization.

Methods: Observational study including all infants born < 30 weeks' gestation in a French tertiary perinatal center between 2007 and 2020.

Fatal accidental lipid overdose with intravenous composite lipid emulsion in a premature newborn: a case report.

Background: Tenfold or more overdose of a drug or preparation is a dreadful adverse event in neonatology, often due to an error in programming the infusion pump flow rate. Lipid overdose is exceptional in this context and has never been reported during the administration of a composite intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE).

Case Presentation: Twenty-four hours after birth, a 30 weeks' gestation infant with a birthweight of 930 g inadvertently received 28 ml of a composite ILE over 4 h.

Impact of the use of antenatal corticosteroids on mortality, cerebral lesions and 5-year neurodevelopmental outcomes of very preterm infants: the EPIPAGE cohort study.

Objective: To assess the impact of antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) on neonatal mortality, cerebral lesions and 5-year neurodevelopmental outcome of infants born at 24-27 and 28-32 weeks of gestational age (GA).

Design: Observational population-based study including all births at GAs between 22 and 32 weeks in 1997 in nine regions of France. Survivors were assessed at the age of 5 years.

[Neonatal management of a child exposed to tobacco smoke in utero].

The gravidic toxicity of the nicotinism on the fetus is now established. Certain long-term effects related to some substances, including certain unquestionable carcinogens, still remain to be evaluated. The risk of preterm birth is increased and the incidence of the intra-uterine growth retardation is high.

[Is early treatment of infants at risk of spastic diplegia warranted?].

Objective: To test the possible link between first investigation and development of spastic diplegia.

Method: A long-term retrospective study was carried out in the Neonatal Medicine Department of Arras Hospital, the C.A.
