Importance: Neurodevelopmental outcomes of very preterm children exposed to tocolytics are not well described.

Objective: To investigate whether tocolysis administered after spontaneous preterm labor is associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes at 5.5 years and to assess whether the type of tocolytic drug is associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes among infants exposed.

Background: In Europe, meningococcal (Men) vaccines are available against 5 of the 6 serogroups responsible of nearly all cases of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD). Meningococcal vaccination has been introduced in the national immunization programs (NIPs) for children and adolescents of numerous European countries, but with no consistent strategy across countries.

Objectives: To describe IMD epidemiology, NIPs, and vaccination coverage rates (VCRs) in children and adolescents in 8 Western European countries.

Importance: No trials to date have demonstrated the benefits of tocolysis on death and/or neonatal morbidity in preterm infants; tocolytics may affect the fetal blood-brain barrier.

Objectives: To assess the risks associated with tocolysis in women delivering prematurely as measured by death and/or intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants and to compare the association of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) nifedipine and nicardipine hydrochloride vs atosiban used for tocolysis with death and/or IVH.

Design, Settings, And Participants: The French 2011 EPIPAGE-2 (Enquête Épidémiologique sur les Petits Âges Gestationnels) cohort was limited to mothers admitted for preterm labor without fever, who delivered from 24 to 31 weeks of gestation from April 1 through December 31, 2011.

Purpose: To compare the respiratory and neurological outcomes at two years of age of preterm children born before 33 weeks of gestation (WG) after early preterm premature rupture of membranes (EPPROM) between 14 and 24 WG with preterm children without EPPROM.

Design And Patients: This single-center case-control retrospective study was conducted at Rouen University Hospital between 1st January 2000 and 31st December 2010. All the cases with EPPROM born from 26WG to 32WG were included.

Objective: To investigate alteration in 2-year neurological/behavioral outcomes of very preterm infants born in a French level three neonatal intensive care unit.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, comparative study of very preterm infants born before 33 weeks' gestation at 5-year intervals in 2000, 2005 and 2010 at Rouen University Hospital. Neonatal mortality/morbidities, ante- and neonatal treatments, and at age 2 years motor, cognitive and behavioral data were collected by standardized questionnaires.

Aim: To compare neonatal and 2-year outcomes in very premature infants born 5 years apart.

Methods: Prospective observational study of infants born before 33 weeks' gestation in 2000 or 2005 admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit in France. We collected perinatal data and evaluated motor, cognitive, neurosensory and behavioural outcomes at 2 years of age.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Gaelle Pinto Cardoso"

  • - Gaelle Pinto Cardoso's research primarily focuses on the neurodevelopmental outcomes of very preterm infants, investigating factors such as tocolysis and early preterm premature rupture of membranes, with the goal of understanding the long-term effects on children born at low gestational ages.
  • - A significant portion of her studies highlights the risks associated with tocolytic drug exposure in preterm infants, including associations with intraventricular hemorrhage and mortality, as well as the differences in outcomes based on the type of tocolytics used.
  • - Cardoso also conducts epidemiological assessments related to pediatric health, particularly examining meningococcal disease and vaccination strategies across Western European countries, which underscores the variability and importance of consistent immunization programs.
