Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the need for exchange transfusions in neonatal care, track the use and waste of transfusion products, and understand their prevalence across the Netherlands.
- - Data from all 9 neonatal intensive care units and 15 other hospitals were analyzed over an 11-year period, revealing that severe immune hemolysis was the most common reason for transfusions while around 50% of products ordered were not used.
- - The findings showed that only 14.6 out of every 100,000 liveborn neonates required an exchange transfusion, indicating that these procedures are quite rare in the Netherlands and a significant number of products go unused.
Introduction: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) remains an important cause for preventable blindness. Aside from gestational age (GA) and birth weight, risk factor assessment can be important for determination of infants at risk of (severe) ROP.
Methods: Prospective, multivariable risk-analysis study (NEDROP-2) was conducted, including all infants born in 2017 in the Netherlands considered eligible for ROP screening by pediatricians.

Objective: In the Netherlands, the threshold for offering active treatment for spontaneous birth was lowered from 25 to 24 weeks' gestation in 2010. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of guideline implementation on survival and causes and timing of death in the years following implementation.
Design: National cohort study, using data from the Netherlands Perinatal Registry.

Anaemia is a common problem in premature infants and is generally easy to treat with iron supplementation. If the anaemia persists despite appropriate correction of deficiencies, more extensive evaluation is required. We describe a case of a premature male infant with a production-deficient anaemia without metabolic deficiencies, eventually identified as anaemia of prematurity.
