Association of gestational day with antenatal management and the mortality and respiratory outcomes of extremely preterm infants.

Objective: Perinatal epidemiological studies and outcomes are often reported on gestational week thresholds. This study aims to quantify and investigate the association of each gestational day at birth on antenatal management, mortality and respiratory outcomes of extremely preterm infants.

Design: Retrospective cohort study using National Neonatal Research Database.

Using a novel smartphone app to track noise and vibration exposure during neonatal ambulance transport.

Objective: To assess the utility of a bespoke smartphone app to map noise and vibration exposure across neonatal road ambulance journeys.

Design And Setting: Prospective observational study of ambulance journeys across a large UK neonatal transport service. Smartphones, with an in-house developed app, were secured to incubator trolleys to collect vibration and noise data for comparison with international standards.

Enhanced Infant Movement Analysis Using Transformer-Based Fusion of Diverse Video Features for Neurodevelopmental Monitoring.

Neurodevelopment is a highly intricate process, and early detection of abnormalities is critical for optimizing outcomes through timely intervention. Accurate and cost-effective diagnostic methods for neurological disorders, particularly in infants, remain a significant challenge due to the heterogeneity of data and the variability in neurodevelopmental conditions. This study recruited twelve parent-infant pairs, with infants aged 3 to 12 months.
