Objective: To assess whether blood pressure (systolic (SABP), diastolic (DABP), and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) and cerebral-regional-oxygen-saturation (crSO2) and cerebral-fractional-tissue-oxygen-extraction (cFTOE) are associated after immediate fetal-to-neonatal transition in preterm neonates with and without respiratory support.
Study Design: analyses of secondary outcome parameters of prospective observational studies were performed. We included moderate and late preterm neonates with and without respiratory support with cerebral NIRS monitoring (INVOS 5100c) and an oscillometric blood pressure measurement at minute 15 after birth. Heart rate (HR) and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) were monitored routinely. Blood pressure values were correlated with crSO2 and cFTOE.
Results: 47 preterm neonates with NIRS measurements and blood pressure measurement during immediate transition after birth were included. Twenty-five preterm neonates (gestational age: 34.4±1.6 weeks) received respiratory support. In these neonates crSO2 correlated significantly positively with systolic blood pressure (SABP; r = 0.46, = 0.021), diastolic blood pressure (DABP; r = 0.51, = 0.009) and, mean arterial pressure (MABP; r = 0.48, = 0.015). cFTOE correlated significantly negatively with SABP (r = -0.44, = 0.027), DABP (r = -0.49, = 0.013) and mean MABP (r = -0.44, = 0.029). Twenty-two preterm neonates (gestational age: 34.5 ± 1.5 weeks) did not receive respiratory support. In those neonates, neither crSO2 nor cFTOE correlated with blood pressure.
Conclusion: In compromised moderate and late preterm neonates with respiratory support, both, crSO2 and cFTOE correlated with blood pressure. These findings suggest that passive pressure-dependent cerebral perfusion was present in preterm neonates with respiratory support, indicating an impaired cerebral autoregulation in those compromised preterm neonates.

Background: Birth weight is a critical indicator for assessing fetal development and newborn health status. This study aimed to examine both linear and nonlinear associations between maternal age and birth weight and their related adverse outcomes.
Methods: 15,923 delivery data from 2018 to 2021 for pregnant women from the Changsha Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital were reviewed by a retrospective study.

Background: Approximately 5% of very premature infants delivered at less than 30 weeks' gestation have systemic hypertension. In adult human and animal models, intermittent hypoxemia events are associated with systemic hypertension. In neonates, intermittent hypoxemia events are associated with adverse outcomes, but it is unknown if they are a risk factor for hypertension.

Background: Repetitive neonatal painful procedures experienced in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are known to alter the development of the nociceptive system and have long-lasting consequences. Recent evidence indicates that NICU stay affects the methylation of the opioid receptor mu 1 encoding gene (Mor-1). Additionally, a preclinical model of neonatal procedural pain established lower adult post-operative MOR-1 levels in the spinal cord.

The role of the cerebellum in the neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants has often been neglected. However, accumulating evidence indicates that normal cerebellar development is disrupted by prematurity-associated complications causing cerebellar injury and by prematurity itself. This hampers not only the normal development of motor skills and gait, but also cognitive, language, and behavioral development, collectively referred to as "developmental cognitive affective syndrome.

Unlabelled: In very preterm-born infants, nutritional intake is important to reduce the risk of severe metabolic bone disease including the risk of a lower bone mineral density (BMD). The aim of this study was to evaluate bone mineral content (BMC) and BMD (measured as BMC per bone area (BA)) at six years of age in very preterm-born infants fed different diets post-discharge. Data on this topic so far is insufficient, and with this study we aim to supply more useful data.
