Article Synopsis
  • - Assessing pain in newborns in the NICU is challenging due to the subjective methods currently used, prompting a study to compare an AI facial recognition system's effectiveness against healthcare professionals' evaluations.
  • - The study, which analyzed data from an eye-tracking study, found significant differences in AI-generated metrics of arousal and valence across various pain stimuli, with strong correlation (r = 0.84) between AI results and expert ratings.
  • - Eleven specific facial action units related to neonatal pain were identified, indicating that AI technology has the potential to improve objective pain assessment in newborns by accurately analyzing their facial expressions in response to different pain levels.

Background And Aim: Neonatal intensive care treatment, including frequently performed painful procedures and administration of analgesic drugs, can have different effects on the neurodevelopment. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the influence of pain, opiate administration, and pre-emptive opiate administration on pain threshold in animal studies in rodents, which had a brain development corresponding to preterm and term infants.

Methods: A systematic literature search of electronic data bases including CENTRAL (OVID), CINAHL (EBSCO), Embase.
