Objective: To develop a prediction model for neonatal mortality using information readily available in the antenatal period.
Methods: A multiple logistic regression model of a complete population-based geographically defined cohort of very preterm infants of 23+0 to 30+6 weeks' gestation was used to identify antenatal factors which were predictive of mortality in this population. Infants lt; 23 weeks and those with major anomalies were excluded.
Objective: To establish the evidence of therapeutic hypothermia for newborns with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).
Data Sources: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Oxford Database of Perinatal Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and previous reviews.
Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials that compared therapeutic hypothermia to normothermia for newborns with HIE.
Background: Arterial tortuosity syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive, severe, connective tissue disorder caused by a mutation in the SLC2A10 gene. We describe the pregnancy and delivery with this high-risk connective tissue disorder involving generalized abnormalities of the vasculature.
Case: A woman with an undefined connective tissue disorder was referred for tertiary prenatal care.
Objectives: It is unclear whether declines in neonatal and infant mortality have led to changes in the occurrence of cerebral palsy. We conducted a study to examine and investigate recent temporal changes in the prevalence of cerebral palsy in a population-based cohort of very preterm infants who were 24 to 30 weeks of gestational age.
Methods: A population-based cohort of very preterm infants who were born between January 1, 1993, and December 31, 2002, was evaluated by the Perinatal Follow-up Program of Nova Scotia.
