Objective: The psychometric properties of two formats of developmental screening tools that may be used in follow-up clinics providing primary care to children born preterm are presented.
Methods: 28 children born extremely preterm (<27 weeks) attending a high-risk clinic at the time of their 18-24 month visit were administered the Child Development Review, Brigance Early Head Start Screen II, and Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-Third Edition.
Results: Both screeners identified the majority of the sample as at-risk. The Brigance Screen II more accurately identified children at-risk compared with the Child Developmental Review (sensitivity: 1.00 and 0.44; specificity: 0.60 and 0.80; positive predictive value: 79% and 80%; negative predictive value: 100% and 44%, respectively).
Conclusions: Screening assessments using direct skills assessment may be an efficient and effective method of identifying children with developmental delays, particularly high-frequency but lower severity difficulties, in high-risk follow-up care settings.

Influence of inhaled nitric oxide on bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants with PPHN or HRF at birth: a propensity score matched study.
Front Pharmacol
December 2024
Department of Neonatology, Women and Children's Hospital, School of Medicine, Xiamen University, Xiamen, Fujian, China.
Background: Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease affecting preterm infants, with limited prevention and treatment options. Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) is sometimes used to treat Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN) and Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (HRF), and its impact on BPD development remains debated.
Objective: To assess whether iNO-related factors are potential contributors to the development of BPD Grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ in very premature infants (VPI) diagnosed with PPHN or HRF at birth using Propensity Score Matching (PSM).

Background: To evaluate the acceptance and safety of the treatment of newborns with nirsevimab (a long-acting monoclonal antibody designed to prevent respiratory syncytial virus infections) during the first season of implementation.
Methods: A longitudinal, prospective, single-centre cohort study was conducted from September 18th, 2023, to January 23rd, 2024 at Lille University Hospital (Lille, France). All newborns admitted to the hospital's maternity department during the study period and whose parents agreed to participate in the study were included.

Children born growth-restricted are well recognized to be at an increased risk of poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. This prospective study examined the influence of chest-to-head circumference ratio at birth on neurodevelopment in the first three years among children enrolled in the Japan Environment and Children's Study. We analyzed information of 84,311 children (43,217 boys, 41,094 girls).

Purpose Of Review: Conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) is a frequent but not ubiquitous part of warfare, affecting not only survivors but also their families and wider communities. This thematic review describes advances in research on CRSV, reviews new developments in the literature, and proposes recommendations for future study.
Recent Findings: An increasing number of studies consider how to address methodological and ethical research challenges, how understudied victim/survivor groups as well as families and communities are affected by CRSV, how survivor-centered justice mechanisms can be developed to reduce impunity, and how CRSV is perceived by different actors.
