Long-lasting effects of control measures on trends in incidence in neonatal late-onset sepsis due to multiresistant bacteria in a Brazilian neonatal unit.
Am J Infect Control
January 2025
Background: In response to a 1995 outbreak of sepsis caused by multidrug-resistant (MR) Gram-negative bacteria (GNB), a Brazilian level III neonatal unit established a series of control and prevention measures. This study evaluated the long-term effects of these measures on late-onset neonatal sepsis (LONS) caused by MR bacteria from 2000 to 2020 and examined their impact on in-hospital mortality.
Methods: Newborns with LONS and positive cultures for Staphylococcus aureus, GNB, and Enterococcus sp were selected, adhering to Center for Desease Control and Prevention and local criteria.
Background: Enteral feeding by a transpyloric tube in critically ill infants is indicated when there is a failure in gastric feeding. However, there is a wide variability regarding the insertion technique.
Purpose: To perform a systematic review of the methods for inserting a transpyloric feeding tube in newborns and infants.
Protective measures feasibility for infants of low-income SARS-CoV-2 positive breastfeeding mothers: A prospective multicentre cohort study.

November 2022
Aim: The aim was to evaluate the feasibility of protective measures for infants of low-income SARS-CoV-2 positive breastfeeding mothers.
Background: Breastfeeding mothers with SARS-CoV-2 positive should avoid exposing the infant through protective measures (PM), but it could be challenging in a low-income population.
Methods: A prospective, multicentre study was conducted between July and October 2020 (BRACOVID).
Background: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a serious problem in preterm infants. Brazilian national data are unknown.
Objective: To evaluate the incidence and temporal trend of IVH in very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants of 18 centers of the Brazilian Network on Neonatal Research.
This prospective cohort study aimed to assess the association of admission hypothermia (AH) with death and/or major neonatal morbidities among very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants based on the relative performance of 20 centers of the Brazilian Network of Neonatal Research. This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data using the database registry of the Brazilian Network on Neonatal Research. Center performance was defined by the relative mortality rate using conditional inference trees.

- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of T-piece resuscitators versus self-inflating bags for ventilating preterm infants at birth, focusing on survival rates without major health issues by discharge.
- Conducted in 20 Brazilian hospitals with 1962 infants born between 23-33 weeks of gestation, the research followed standardized ventilation guidelines and adjustable logistic regression for outcomes.
- Results showed that infants ventilated with T-piece resuscitators had a higher survival rate (47%) without significant complications compared to those using self-inflating bags (35%), indicating that the T-piece may improve neonatal outcomes.
Objective:: To assess the impact of respiratory therapy with the expiratory flow increase technique on cerebral hemodynamics of premature newborns.
Methods:: This is an intervention study, which included 40 preterm infants (≤34 weeks) aged 8-15 days of life, clinically stable in ambient air or oxygen catheter use. Children with heart defects, diagnosis of brain lesion and/or those using vasoactive drugs were excluded.
