Objective: To compare safety elements and the understanding of guidelines at discharge from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between public and private hospitals.
Method: Cross-sectional study, developed in two Neonatal Intensive Care Units in the Midwest of Brazil. The Checklist for patient safety in preparing for discharge from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the Assessment Scale of Patient Understanding about Discharge Guidelines were used for a sample (n=105) of caregivers of newborns. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed.
Results: The Checklist item "skin care and body hygiene" had greater conformity in the private sector (96.9%) than in the public sector (73.2%) (p-value<0.000) and the understanding of discharge guidelines had an overall mean of 62.9±8.3 points, with no significant difference between the locations.
Conclusion: Compliance with safety elements and understanding of guidelines at discharge were equal among hospitals.

Department of Intensive Care Unit, Hangzhou Women's Hospital, Hangzhou, 310016, Zhejiang, China.
Background: To compare the impact of two different lipid emulsions, specifically a soybean oil-based emulsion and a multiple oil emulsion (soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil, SMOF), on serum metabolites of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants using untargeted metabolomics analysis.
Methods: A comparative study was conducted on 25 VLBW infants hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) of Hangzhou Women's Hospital in 2023. The infants were divided into the SMOF group (13 cases) and the soybean oil group (12 cases) based on the type of lipid emulsion used during parenteral nutrition.
