Epidemiology, management and risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in a cohort of newborns born to mothers diagnosed with COVID-19 infection.

Introduction: The impact of maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection and its risk of vertical transmission is still not well known. Recommendations from scientific societies seek to provide safety for newborns without compromising the benefits of early contact. The aim of the study is to describe characteristics and evolution of newborns born to mothers with SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as the implemented measures following recommendations from the .

Neonatal Infection Due to SARS-CoV-2: An Epidemiological Study in Spain.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continue to increase worldwide. Although some data from pediatric series are available, more evidence is required, especially in neonates, a group with specific characteristics that deserve special attention. This study aimed to describe general and clinical characteristics, management, and treatment of postnatal-acquired (community and nosocomial/hospital-acquired) COVID-19 neonatal cases in Spain.

Antenatal corticosteroids and the influence of sex on morbidity and mortality of preterm infants.

Objective: To study the associated effect of a complete course of antenatal corticosteroids (ACSs) on mortality and morbidity rates among preterm infants in our population.

Study Design: Observational prospective study of infants born at less than 32 weeks' gestation and admitted to our Neonatal Care Unit between January 2012 and December 2018. We analyzed mortality at discharge and respiratory and neurological morbidity, both during hospitalization and at 24 months' postmenstrual age.

New Strategies of Pulmonary Protection of Preterm Infants in the Delivery Room with the Respiratory Function Monitoring.

Objective: To investigate if the use of a visible respiratory function monitor (RFM) to use lower tidal volumes (Vts) during positive pressure ventilation (PPV) in the delivery room (DR) reduces the need of surfactant administration and invasive mechanical ventilation during the first 72 hours after birth of preterm infants <32 weeks' gestational age (GA).

Study Design: Infants <32 weeks' GA ( = 106) requiring noninvasive PPV were monitored with a RFM at birth and randomized to visible ( = 54) or masked ( = 52) display on RFM. Pulmonary data were recorded during the first 10 minutes after birth.
