Unlabelled: Extremely low birth weight infants are a public health problem in developing countries.
The Objective: of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of extremely low birth weight newborns hospitalized at Saint Camille Hospital in Ouagadougou (HOSCO).
Method: This was a descriptive and analytical study with retrospective data collection on newborns with birth weight <1000g, in the neonatology department from January 2017 to December 2021.
Aim: Apnoea of prematurity requires prompt intervention to prevent long-term adverse outcomes, but specific recommendations about the stimulation approach are lacking. Our study investigated the modalities of tactile stimulation for apnoea of prematurity in different settings.
Methods: In this multi-country observational prospective study, nurses and physicians of the neonatal intensive care units were asked to perform a tactile stimulation on a preterm neonatal manikin simulating an apnoea.
Objective: In many countries, the provision of water in the early months of a baby's life jeopardises exclusive breast-feeding (EBF). Using a behavioural theory, this study assessed the impact of a behaviour change intervention on mothers' intention to act and, in turn, on the water provision in addition to breast milk to their infants under 6 months of age (IU6M) in two regions of Guinea.
Design: A quasi-experimental design.
Background: Adolescence is a critical period of maturation when nutrient needs are high, especially among adolescents entering pregnancy. Using individual-level data from 140,000 participants, we examined socioeconomic, nutrition, and pregnancy and birth outcomes for adolescent mothers (10-19 years) compared to older mothers in low and middle-income countries.
Methods: This study was conducted between March 16, 2018 and May 25, 2021.
