Article Synopsis
- A study involving 13 hospitals in Spain examined the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to newborns and included data from 177 infants exposed during pregnancy.
- Results showed 5.1% of the newborns tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, with 1.7% of cases attributed to intrauterine transmission and 3.4% to transmission during delivery or shortly after birth.
- Most infected newborns were either asymptomatic or had mild symptoms, and maternal factors did not significantly affect the risk of transmission, despite the presence of the virus in urine and meconium samples.
Introduction: Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) improves survival and neurological prognosis in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathic (HIE) babies, being better the sooner TH is implemented. HIE babies are born more frequently in a non-cooling centre and need to be referred.
Methods: Prospective-observational study (April 18 2018 - November 19 2019).

Background: In adult population with community acquired pneumonia high levels of pro-adrenomedullin (pro-ADM) have been shown to be predictors of worse prognosis. The role of this biomarker in pediatric patients had not been analyzed to date. The objective of this study is to know the levels of pro-ADM in children with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) and analyze the relation between these levels and the patients' prognosis.
