Feasibility and Safety of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Infants at Risk of Hypoglycemia in a Rooming-in Setting.

Screening of neonatal hypoglycemia uses currently intermittent blood sampling. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) allows for tighter glucose control and better comfort for newborns and parents. CGM has previously been used in intensive care setting or blinded to clinicians.

Optimal oxygen saturation in extremely premature neonates.

So far, great efforts have been made to understand the demands of extremely premature neonates (EPNs´; born before the 28(th) week of gestation) on postnatal care, including optimal oxygen saturation, that will allow them to survive without disability. A major yet unresolved problem is to find an "optimal range" of their oxygen saturation and to maintain it without drops or increases, i.e.

Continuous glucose monitoring as a screening tool for neonatal hypoglycemia in infants of diabetic mothers.

To assess the plausibility of using the continuous glucose monitoring as a sole source of data for the screening of the neonatal hypoglycemia. Infants of mothers with diabetes were screened for neonatal hypoglycemia (less than 2.5 mmol/l after 4 h of life).

Guidelines for the Management of Extremely Premature Deliveries: A Systematic Review.

Background And Objectives: Available data on survival rates and outcomes of extremely low gestational age (GA) infants (22-25 weeks' gestation) display wide variation by country. Whether similar variation is found in statements by national professional bodies is unknown. The objectives were to perform a systematic review of management from scientific and professional organizations for delivery room care of extremely low GA infants.

Maternal BMI and HDL as predictors of pregnancy outcome in women with type 1 diabetes.

Objective: Diabetes in pregnancy is associated with increased risks of maternal as well as foetal complications.

Methods: Retrospective data on 96 women and their 96 newborns were anonymously statistically analysed to assess pregnancies of type 1 diabetes (T1D) women managed in our hospital in past nine years. The outcomes of the neonates were divided into three categories according to the clinical status, presence of congenital abnormalities and infant's treatment.
