Background: Before the advent of antenatal steroids, early non-invasive respiratory support (NIV), and intratracheal surfactant, antenatal terbutaline was also used to improve lung compliance and reduce the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
Objectives: The objective of this paper was to study the association between antenatal terbutaline and endotracheal intubation (ET) within the first 24 hours of life, RDS, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in infants with the gestational age (GA) of <32 weeks, and to study the association between antenatal terbutaline, and ET or NIV within the first 24 hours of life, and RDS in infants with the GA of 32 to 36 weeks.
Method: This was a retrospective medical record review of preterm infants delivered at a single tertiary care center from October 2016 to December 2020.

Background: Hyperbilirubinaemia is a common cause of hospital admission of newborn infants; however, maternal visual assessment of jaundice may reduce unnecessary hospital visits.
Aims: To investigate the validity of maternal visual assessment of neonatal jaundice to identify infants with hyperbilirubinaemia requiring phototherapy or who have significant hyperbilirubinaemia ≥239.4 µmol/L (14 mg/dL).
