Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the incidence of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in infants ≥36 weeks gestational age in Turkey, finding an incidence rate of 2.13 per 1000 live births, with varying severity levels among those affected.
- - Among infants with HIE, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) was notably administered to 34.5% of those with mild HIE, while factors like gestational age affected mortality rates, especially in those born at 34-35 weeks.
- - Despite an unchanged incidence of HIE, the study revealed a decreased mortality rate and no significant impact of TH timing on MRI findings or mortality.
Objective: Optimal care in the delivery room is important to decrease neonatal morbidity and mortality. We aimed to evaluate neonatal resuscitation practices in Turkish centers.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional survey consisted of a 91-item questionnaire focused on delivery room practices in neonatal resuscitation and was sent to 50 Turkish centers.
Introduction: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been widely used to treat the hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN). Although it has been shown that IVIG treatment reduces the duration of phototherapy and hospitalization, the use of IVIG in hemolytic disease due to ABO incompatibility has been controversial in recent years. This study aimed to investigate the role of IVIG in the prevention of exchange transfusion in infants with ABO HDN who presented with bilirubin levels at or above the level of exchange transfusion.

Methods: The medical records of liveborn neonates with HF who were admitted to a tertiary Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Konya, Turkey, between 2013 and 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. The demographic data, prenatal intervention, clinical findings, and results of the patients were recorded.

Case Characteristics: A 2-day-old male neonate delivered at 35 weeks' gestation was referred with extensive bruising and jaundice. His elder sibling had Glanzmann thrombasthenia, and his mother had thrombophilic risk factors.
Background: Neonatal jaundice (NNJ) is common, but few root cause analyses based on national quality registries have been performed. An online registry was established to estimate the incidence of NNJ in Turkey and to facilitate a root cause analysis of NNJ and its complications.
Methods: A multicenter prospective study was conducted on otherwise healthy newborns born at ≥35 weeks of gestation and hospitalized for only NNJ in 50 collaborator neonatal intensive care units across Turkey over a 1-year period.
Purpose: Liver-type fatty acid-binding protein is a small cytoplasmic protein which is expressed in the human renal proximal tubular epithelium and synthesized in response to renal tubular injury. The aim of the present study was to investigate the importance of urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein levels in children who diagnosed with vesicoureteral reflux.
Methods: Fifty-six patients with vesicoureteral reflux and 51 healthy controls were enrolled to the study.
