Background: In Reunion Island, a French overseas department, the burden of preterm birth and perinatal mortality exceed those observed in mainland France, despite similar access to standard perinatal care. The purpose of the study was to compare the outcome of two cohorts of NICU-admitted very preterm infants born between 24 and 31 weeks of gestation (WG): the registry-based OGP (Observatoire de la Grande Prématurité, Reunion Island, 2008-2013) cohort, and the nationwide EPIPAGE-2 (mainland France, 2011) observational cohort.
Methods: The primary outcome was adverse neonatal outcomes defined as a composite indicator of in-hospital mortality or any of three following severe morbidities: bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), necrotising enterocolitis, or severe neurological injury (periventricular leukomalacia or grade III-IV intraventricular haemorrhages).
Article Synopsis
- - Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in preterm infants and identifying early signs is crucial for neonatal care, particularly for those born before 32 weeks' gestation
- - A study involving 128 preterm infants assessed various cardiovascular and oxygen saturation metrics, finding that low renal oxygen levels and specific blood flow measurements on the first day were linked to a higher occurrence of AKI
- - The results suggest that monitoring renal oxygen saturation shortly after birth could help in predicting and managing AKI, indicating that further research is needed in this area for better neonatal outcomes *.
Objective: To evaluate the status of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) management in France and to assess predictors of adverse outcomes.
Study Design: We reviewed the first-year outcome of all cases of CDH reported to the French National Register in 2011.
Results: A total of 158 cases were included.
Objective: To describe conservative management of spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) in preterm infants using peritoneal needle aspiration (PNA).
Study Design: Monocentric retrospective review of SIP cases treated primarily by PNA between 1999 and 2015 (n=31).
Results: Mean gestational age was 29.
Article Synopsis
- Early hypoproteinemia in preterm infants (less than 32 weeks' gestation) is linked to a higher risk of severe adverse outcomes, such as death or severe neurological injury.
- A study involving 128 infants assessed cardiovascular function and blood flow using Doppler ultrasound and near-infrared spectroscopy, revealing that hypoproteinemic infants faced more cardiovascular difficulties.
- The findings suggest that hypoproteinemia correlates with impaired organ perfusion and cardiovascular function, indicating a need for further research to understand this relationship better.
