Predicting physical activity in a national cohort of children born extremely preterm.

Unlabelled: Predicting physical activity in a national cohort of children born extremely preterm.

Objectives: To compare physical activity among school-aged children born extremely preterm or with extremely low birthweight (EP/ELBW) to term-born children, and to identify early predictors for physical inactivity in the EP/ELBW-children.

Methods: A national cohort born during 1999-2000 at gestational age < 28 weeks or birthweight <1000 g and term-born controls were assessed.

Left vocal cord paralysis after patent ductus arteriosus ligation: A systematic review.

Context: Extremely premature (EP) infants are at increased risk of left vocal cord paralysis (LVCP) following surgery for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).

Objective: A Systematical Review was conducted to investigate the incidence and outcomes of LVCP after PDA ligation in EP born infants.

Data Sources: Searches were performed in Cochrane, Medline, Embase, Cinahl and PsycInfo.
