The frequency of premature delivery is estimated at 0.5% of births (approximately 2000 per year in France). The rate of in utero transfers before 28 weeks, although difficult to evaluate, is well above this percentage, raising the risk of overloading level III maternity wards. Who should or should not be transferred? What tests are most pertinent? What are the criteria for diagnosing premature labor? Which treatment should be offered? How should the decision to transfer be established? What information should be furnished to the parents? How should an unexpected delivery be managed? How should the transfer network be optimally organized?

Risk factors for noninvasive ventilation failure in preterm infants at less than 30 weeks of gestation with respiratory distress syndrome.
J Trop Pediatr

Division of Neonatology, University of Health Sciences, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, 06800, Turkey.
This study aimed to identify risk factors for noninvasive ventilation (NIV) failure in <30 weeks' gestation preterm neonates and compare morbidity in patients with and without NIV failure. This study included preterm neonates <30 weeks' gestation who received NIV support for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Demographic and clinical characteristics were compared between infants with and without NIV failure within the first 72 hours after birth.

Background: Early onset hypocalcemia, occurring within 3 days of birth, is prevalent among preterm infants. A central line is required to deliver calcium (Ca). The prediction of hypocalcemia is therefore clinically important when the requirement for initial intravascular calcium administration is anticipated.

Department of Neonatology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zheng Zhou University, Zhengzhou, China.
Objective: To explore the risk factors for the reactivate of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) after intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and to construct a nomogram model to predict the risk of ROP reactivate.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 185 ROP children who underwent anti-VEGF treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to October 2023. They were randomly divided into a training set (129 cases) and a validation set (56 cases) at a ratio of 7:3.

Background: We aimed to examine factors associated with prenatal syphilis, including prenatal care, and pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women with HIV in Brazil.
Methods: Retrospective data were gathered from a national cohort of Brazilian women with HIV on antiretroviral therapy who became pregnant between January 2015 and May 2018. Prenatal syphilis was defined by clinical diagnoses with treatment or any positive syphilis laboratory result between 30 days before conception and pregnancy conclusion.
