Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of antenatal magnesium sulfate (MgSO) on mortality and the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants born before 32 weeks of gestation.
- Antenatal MgSO was linked to a significantly reduced death rate and a lower combined rate of severe IVH and death, but did not show a significant impact on the incidence of severe IVH alone.
- The findings suggest that administering MgSO during pregnancy could improve survival rates in VLBW infants, although it may not specifically reduce severe IVH rates.
Introduction: Mortality in very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs) has remained at ~26% in the past 16 years in the NEOCOSUR Neonatal Network.
Objective: Mortality in very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs) has remained at ~26% in the past 16 years in the NEOCOSUR Neonatal Network.
Population And Methods: Observational, multicenter cohort study; retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively.
Objective: To describe trends in mortality, major morbidity, and perinatal care practices of very low birth weight infants born at NEOCOSUR Neonatal Network centers from January 1, 2001, through December 31, 2016.
Study Design: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from all inborn infants with a birthweight of 500-1500 g and 23-35 weeks of gestation.
Results: We examined data for 13 987 very low birth weight infants with a mean birth weight of 1081 ± 281 g and a gestational age of 28.
