Importance: Family-centered care (FCC) in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is critical for parental involvement and infant well-being, yet few studies have evaluated the impact of FCC interventions on practice or examined how implementation fidelity may affect these outcomes.
Objectives: To evaluate the association between the Close Collaboration With Parents intervention and FCC practices and how implementation fidelity may modify these outcomes.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This nonrandomized clinical trial had a before-and-after design.
Aim: Little is known about the specific restriction measures used in intensive care units (NICUs) during the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on parental well-being. Hence, this study aimed to assess the association between restriction measures and mothers' post-partum depressive symptoms.
Methods: This comparative cohort study included mothers who gave birth before 35 weeks of gestation in Estonia.
Background: By two years of age, almost all children experience at least one episode of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, the most common viral cause of hospitalisation due to lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). We present data on LRTI hospitalisations (with a special focus on RSV), the course of illness, and LRTI hospitalisation risk factors in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.
Materials And Methods: The analysed data were part of a large multinational study conducted in 23 countries (PONI).
Aim: To identify recent changes in short-term outcome and care for very preterm infants in Estonia.
Methods: Comparison of two population-based cohort of very preterm infants born alive at 22-31 gestational weeks. In 2007-2008, data were recorded prospectively in a neonatal register.
