Objective: Early hypoglycaemia at the time of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission is common in very/extreme preterm infants. This study aimed to determine whether buccal dextrose gel in the delivery room (DR) would improve rates of early hypoglycaemia in this population.
Design: Randomised, blinded, placebo-controlled trial.
Background: The lack of a consensus definition of neonatal sepsis and a core outcome set (COS) proves a substantial impediment to research that influences policy and practice relevant to key stakeholders, patients and parents.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. In the included studies, the described outcomes were extracted in accordance with the provisions of the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) handbook and registered.
Aim: Pulmonary haemorrhage (PH) is an acute catastrophic event with low incidence yet high mortality among neonates. We aimed to systematically review the management of PH.
Methods: A search was carried out of the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases according to the PRISMA guidelines.
Superior Vena Cava (SVC) flow in neonates measured by the standard approach has been validated by different groups around the world. The modified SVC flow measurement technique was recently suggested. The aim of our study was to evaluate standard and modified technique of echocardiography SVC flow measurement in a cohort of extremely preterm neonates in the immediate postnatal period.

We aimed to describe the disease characteristics and long-term outcomes of pediatric PSC. We retrospectively collected all pediatric PSC cases from 36 participating institutions and conducted a survival analysis from the date of PSC diagnosis to dates of diagnosis of portal hypertensive or biliary complications, cholangiocarcinoma, liver transplantation, or death.
