Hydrops fetalis-trends in associated diagnoses and mortality from 1997-2018.

Objectives: To describe and evaluate trends in the etiology and mortality risk in neonates admitted for neonatal intensive care with hydrops fetalis.

Study Design: A retrospective review of de-identified patient data in the Pediatrix Clinical Data Warehouse from 1997 to 2018.

Results: We identified 2144 infants diagnosed with hydrops fetalis.

Hydrops fetalis: a retrospective review of cases reported to a large national database and identification of risk factors associated with death.

Objectives: The objectives were (1) to identify the causes for hydrops fetalis neonates admitted for neonatal intensive care with the diagnosis of hydrops fetalis and (2) to identify the risk factors associated with death.

Methods: A retrospective review of a large national data set was performed.

Results: There were a total of 253,651 discharges from 162 NICUs in the database; 598 patients were identified with a report of hydrops fetalis.

Primary unilateral pulmonary hypoplasia: neonate through early childhood - case report, radiographic diagnosis and review of the literature.

Unilateral pulmonary hypoplasia is a rare cause of respiratory distress in the neonate. It is usually secondary to other causes such as diaphragmatic hernia. We present a case of a newborn with primary hypoplasia of the right upper lobe who was later found to also have tracheobronchomalacia.
