Neonatal morbidity in the 2011 JAKIDS Jamaican birth cohort.

This study reports the spectrum of discharge diagnoses in a national cohort of newborns admitted during a 3-month period to hospitals across Jamaica. The data were analyzed using measures of central tendency and risk assessed using odds ratio. Data on 1607 admissions were used to describe the spectrum of morbidity in hospitalized infants.

Neonatal mortality in the 2011 JAKIDS birth cohort.

This study aimed to determine the mortality in a Jamaican birth cohort over a 3-month period. Data on the outcome of 87.5% of all births in Jamaica between July and September 2011 were used to determine trends in and determinants of neonatal mortality.

Implementation of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography in tertiary Canadian Neonatal Intensive Care Units-a longitudinal study.

Aim: To investigate the implementation of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) as bedside monitoring tool of cerebral function in tertiary Canadian Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) over the past decade.

Methods: Longitudinal study consisting of online surveys of neonatologists on the use of aEEG in 2009 and 2018.

Results: The response rate to the survey was 72 of 149 (49%) in 2009 and 18 of 30 (60%) in 2018, respectively.

Safety of morphine in nonintubated infants in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Objective: To determine the safety of morphine for procedural pain management in nonintubated infants in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study comparing nonintubated infants undergoing central line placement who received morphine during the procedure with a sex and age-matched group who did not receive morphine. The incidence of clinically significant respiratory depression and hypotension, defined as requiring intervention (ie, bag/mask ventilation, increased ventilatory support, and naloxone reversal for respiratory depression and saline volume expansion and inotropes for hypotension), were compared between groups using chi test.
