Aim: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of 3% versus 30% NaCl solution in treating umbilical granuloma (UG) and to evaluate parental satisfaction.
Methods: A randomised, double-blinded, comparative study in neonates with UG was conducted. Stratified, block-of-four randomisation was used to allocate neonates into two groups, treated with 3% or 30% pharmaceutical-grade NaCl solution, three times daily.
Aim: Reports of the outcomes of infants born with marginal viability in developing countries are limited. This study aimed to determine the mortality rate and major disabilities of extremely preterm infants.
Methods: A retrospective cohort with a prospective part of neurodevelopmental assessment was performed in infants born at 23-25 weeks' gestational age (GA) who received active resuscitation and were admitted to neonatal intensive care unit during 2005-2015.
