Background: The effects of antenatal corticosteroids (ANSs) on twins are not well established.
Objective: To determine the impact of ANS use according to the number of fetuses.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of newborns between 23 and 33 weeks of gestational age, birth weight from 400 to 1499 g, without malformations, delivered at 20 public university hospitals from 2010 to 2014.
Article Synopsis
- 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: The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0) was designed to assess the functioning level in six life domains (cognition, mobility, self-care, getting along, life activities, and participation in community activities). There are different versions, from the simplest to the most complete, various presentations (either interviews or self-administered), comprehending the domains of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).
