Childhood outcomes after low-grade intraventricular haemorrhage: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis exploring school-age neurodevelopmental outcomes of children after low-grade intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH).

Method: The published and grey literature was extensively searched to identify observational comparative studies exploring neurodevelopmental outcomes after IVH grades 1 and 2. Our primary outcome was neurodevelopmental impairment after 5 years of age, which included cognitive, motor, speech and language, behavioural, hearing, or visual impairments.

School-age outcomes of children after perinatal brain injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Over 3000 children suffer a perinatal brain injury in England every year according to national surveillance. The childhood outcomes of infants with perinatal brain injury are however unknown.

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analyses were undertaken of studies published between 2000 and September 2021 exploring school-aged neurodevelopmental outcomes of children after perinatal brain injury compared with those without perinatal brain injury.

Data-driven approach to understanding neonatal palliative care needs in England and Wales: a population-based study 2015-2020.

Objective: To quantify admissions to neonatal units in England and Wales with potential need for palliative care.

Design, Setting And Patients: Diagnoses and clinical attributes indicating a high likelihood of requiring palliative care were mapped to categories within the British Association of Perinatal Medicine's (BAPM) framework on palliative care. We extracted data from the National Neonatal Research Database on all babies born and admitted to neonatal units in England and Wales 2015-2020.

Preterm Brain Injury and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes: A Meta-analysis.

Context: Preterm brain injuries are common; neurodevelopmental outcomes following contemporary neonatal care are continually evolving.

Objective: To systematically review and meta-analyze neurodevelopmental outcomes among preterm infants after intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and white matter injury (WMI).

Data Sources: Published and grey literature were searched across 10 databases between 2000 and 2021.
