The new Italian registry of infantile thrombosis (RITI): A reflection on its journey, challenges and pitfalls.

Introduction: Thrombotic events in neonates and children represent a rare although severe occurrence in view of the associated risk of mortality and sequelae. Quality evidence is limited in this field, and registry studies provide an essential base for research. The aim of this paper is to present the new Italian Registry of Infantile Thrombosis (RITI), set it into the scene of international thrombosis and stroke registries, and provide some insight on the challenges associated with registry management.

Identification of novel mutations in patients with fibrinogen disorders and genotype/phenotype correlations.

Background: Congenital fibrinogen disorders are caused by variants occurring within the fibrinogen gene cluster. We describe ten subjects with disease-causative variants, adding information on such disorders.

Materials And Methods: Ten subjects were referred to our Centre because of likely hypo/dysfibrinogenaemia.

Efficacy of Supplementation with Iron Sulfate Compared to Iron Bisglycinate Chelate in Preterm Infants.

Background: Strategies to prevent anaemia in preterm infants include drawing fewer blood samples, the use of recombinant human erythropoietin and iron supplementation. Although iron sulfate is the most commonly used pharmaceutical formulation for iron supplementation, there are few studies comparing different iron salts in infants.

Objective: This is a study of retrospective data comparison of two groups of preterm infants receiving erythropoietin to evaluate the efficacy of iron bisglycinate chelate to iron sulfate.

Clinical Data of Neonatal Systemic Thrombosis.

Objective: To evaluate clinical data and associated risk conditions of noncerebral systemic venous thromboembolism (VT), arterial thromboembolism (AT), and intracardiac thromboembolism (ICT) in neonates.

Study Design: Data analysis of first systemic thromboembolism occurring in 75 live neonates (0-28 days), enrolled in the Italian Registry of Pediatric Thrombosis from neonatology centers between January 2007 and July 2013.

Results: Among 75 events, 41 (55%) were VT, 22 (29%) AT, and 12 (16%) ICT; males represented 65%, and 71% were preterm.

Paediatric arterial ischaemic stroke and cerebral sinovenous thrombosis. First report from the Italian Registry of Pediatric Thrombosis (R. I. T. I., Registro Italiano Trombosi Infantili).

Data from large case series of children with cerebral thrombotic events are pivotal to improve prevention, early recognition and treatment of these conditions. The Italian Registry of Pediatric Thrombosis (R. I.

Fetal thrombotic vasculopathy and perinatal thrombosis: should all placentas be examined?

Objective: Numerous fetal placenta vascular lesions seem to be a predisposing condition for some types of perinatal disease. Placental disease and newborn thromboses might be both manifestations of the same underlying disorder. Objective of this study is to describe pathological lesions of the placenta in newborns with perinatal thrombosis.

Galacto-oligosaccharides are bifidogenic and safe at weaning: a double-blind randomized multicenter study.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to determine the bifidogenic effect of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) in a follow-on formula and the effects on other intestinal bacteria. Secondary objectives were the effects on stool characteristics, growth, and general well-being.

Participants And Methods: In a multicenter, double-blind study, 159 healthy infants, formula-fed at enrollment (at 4-6 months), were randomized to an experimental follow-on formula supplemented with 5 g/L (GOS) (77 infants), or to a standard follow-on formula (control, 82 infants).

Magnesium intake, glucose and insulin serum levels in pre-school very-low-birth weight pre-term children.

Aims: To evaluate cross-sectional associations between dietary magnesium intake and the metabolic pattern of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW, <1500 g) pre-term children, in pre-school years (>2 and <6 years).

Methods And Results: Fifty-eight Italian children without major congenital malformations/conditions were enrolled; dietary intakes, clinical and (in 34 cases) laboratory characteristics were evaluated. Subjects with lower magnesium intake showed significantly higher fasting glucose, insulin and Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) levels.
