Introduction Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of preventable childhood blindness. We investigated the association of early postnatal low-dose intravenous hydrocortisone used for the prevention of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) with ROP-outcome among extremely preterm infants in a Swedish cohort. Methods This retrospective cohort study included extremely preterm infants born before 28 weeks of gestational age (GA).

Department of Preclinical Subjects, Faculty of Health Sciences, Palacky University Olomouc, Olomouc, Czech Republic.

Objective: Pregnancy at advanced maternal age has become more common over the last decades. Therefore, the study aimed to describe the characteristics and maternal and perinatal outcomes of women giving birth at advanced maternal age and very advanced age.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 2,300 singleton births that occurred in 2020-2021 at the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of the Louis Pasteur University Hospital in Košice.

Reimagining apnea monitoring in the neonatal ICU.

Curr Opin Pediatr

December 2024

Division of Neonatology, Montreal Children's Hospital, McGill University Health Center, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Purpose Of Review: This review outlines the prevalence and complications of apneas and intermittent hypoxemic events in preterm infants, examines current monitoring limitations in neonatal ICUs (NICUs), and explores emerging technologies addressing these challenges.

Recent Findings: New evidence from the Prematurity-Related Ventilatory Control (Pre-Vent) study, which analyzed cardiorespiratory data from 717 extremely preterm infants, exposes the varying frequency, duration, and severity of apneas, intermittent hypoxemia, bradycardias, and periodic breathing during hospitalization, and highlights the negative impact of intermittent hypoxemia on pulmonary outcomes at discharge. Although traditional monitoring methods cannot differentiate between apnea types and quantify their burden, recent advancements in sensor technologies and data integration hold promise for improving real-time detection and evaluation of apneas in the NICU.

Surviving prematurity: retrospective longitudinal study of multisystem consequences in preterm-born individuals from infancy to adolescence.

BMC Pediatr

January 2025

Department of Anatomy, Histology and Anthropology, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Vilnius University, Ciurlionio Str. 21, Vilnius, 03101, Lithuania.

Background: Prematurity is linked to diverse and significant health outcomes, but a comprehensive understanding of its long-term multisystem impacts remains limited.

Methods: Retrospective longitudinal cohort study on 417 preterm children born between 2000 and 2015 explores the incidence, dynamics, and interrelationships of health conditions from infancy to adolescence. Data on 1818 diagnoses, categorised by birth weight (BW) and gestational age (GA) and documented according to ICD-10, were analysed using non-parametric tests and negative binomial regression models.
