Improving apgar scores and reducing perineal injuries through midwife-led quality improvements: an observational study in Uganda.
BMC Public Health
January 2025
Department of Women's and Children's Health, Karolinska Institutet, Tomtebodavägen 18A, Stockholm, Solna, 171 77, Sweden.
Background: Globally, the quality of maternal and newborn care remains inadequate, as seen through indicators like perineal injuries and low Apgar scores. While midwifery practices have the potential to improve care quality and health outcomes, there is a lack of evidence on how midwife-led initiatives, particularly those aimed at improving the use of dynamic birth positions, intrapartum support, and perineal protection, affect these outcomes.
Objective: To explore how the use of dynamic birth positions, intrapartum support, and perineal protection impact the incidence of perineal injuries and the 5-min Apgar score within the context of a midwife-led quality improvement intervention.
Sucking blister in a newborn: atypical localisation.
BMJ Case Rep
January 2025
Paediatrics, Unidade Local de Saúde São João, Porto, Portugal.
A meticulous examination of the oral cavity is an essential part of the initial newborn assessment. The differential diagnosis can involve benign and self-limiting lesions to those lesions compromising quality of life. We present a clinical case of a newborn born with a purple, hard tumour on the hard palate that spontaneously regressed, being thus compatible with the case of a sucking blister.

Problem: The COVID-19 pandemic affected perinatal outcomes globally, with some regions reporting an increase in stillbirths.

Mental Disorders Among Offspring Prenatally Exposed to Systemic Glucocorticoids.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.
Importance: Current evidence of the association between prenatal exposure to glucocorticoids and long-term mental disorders is scarce and has limitations.
Objective: To investigate the association between prenatal exposure to systemic glucocorticoids and mental disorders in offspring at the age of 15 years, comparing exposed vs unexposed offspring born to mothers with the same underlying disease (risk of preterm delivery and autoimmune or inflammatory disorders).
Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide population-based cohort study used data from registries in Denmark with follow-up until December 31, 2018.
Advantage of bedside versus conventional operating room surgery in the management of term and preterm newborn infants: a single center retrospective observational study.

January 2025
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Department of Woman and Child Health and Public Health, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, Largo Agostino Gemelli 8, 00168, Rome, Italy.
Purpose: To compare postoperative outcomes of bedside surgery (BS) with those of surgery performed in the operating room (ORS) in preterm and full-term neonates.
Methods: Data from neonates undergoing major surgical interventions were retrospectively evaluated. Primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative hypothermia.
