This study was designed to investigate the construct-concurrent validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale-2 (PDMS-2) in at-risk infants between 0-24 age in Turkey. In this study, 120 infants (70 males, 50 females) participated in the study (mean corrected age 20.18 ± 22.535 weeks). The PDMS-2 scale consists of two subdimensions, the Fine Motor Quotient (FMQ) and the Gross Motor Quotient (GMQ). Whereas the construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis, concurrent validity was investigated using the correlation between PDMS-2 and the Alberta Infant Motor Scale and the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination with Spearman's correlation analysis. The PDMS-2 was applied twice for test-retest reliability. Cronbach's alpha (α) and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used for reliability. ICC value was with 95% CI. The overall reliability coefficient of the test was found to be Croncbach's α = 0.865. TICC values were found (ICC FMQ: 0.998, ICC GMQ: 0.998). Construct validity (/SD = 4.396; root mean square error of approximation = 0.021; goodness-of-fit index = 0.951) and concurrent validity ( = 0.502-0.771; < .05) were confirmed as acceptable. The PDMS-2 demonstrated good psychometric properties and can be used as a reliable and valid measure to assess neurodevelopmental aspects of Turkish at-risk infants.

Identification of distinct clinical profiles of sepsis risk in paediatric emergency department patients using Bayesian profile regression.
BMJ Paediatr Open

Background: Sepsis affects 25 million children and neonates annually, causing significant mortality and morbidity. Early identification and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes. Identifying children at risk is challenging due to clinical heterogeneity and overlap with other conditions.

Objective: To determine the sensitivity, specificity, and false-positive rate among fetuses suspected prenatally to have coarctation of the aorta (CoA) using size and shape measurements of the fetal heart from the four-chamber view (4CV).
Methods: This was a retrospective study of 108 fetuses identified by pediatric cardiologists to be at risk for CoA. 4CV s from the last antenatal ultrasound performed by the cardiologists were analyzed.
Assessment of the maternal key micronutrient supply and its correlation with cord blood parameters in twin pregnancies.
Front Public Health
March 2025
Department of Obstetrics, Perinatology and Neonatology, Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, Warsaw, Poland.
Background: Multiple pregnancy constitutes a large metabolic expense, so women with twin pregnancies and neonates born as twins might be at risk for micronutrient deficiencies. Therefore, the aim of the study was to assess the supplementation used and supply with key micronutrients: iron, vitamin B12, folic acid and vitamin D in women with twin pregnancies and the correlations with cord blood indicators.
Methods: Maternal and cord blood samples were collected from 51 patients with twin pregnancies and 102 newborns born from those pregnancies between October 2020 and September 2023.
Postpartum Depression Screening Practices in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: Opportunities for Improvement.

February 2025
Author Affiliations: School of Nursing, University of Texas at El Paso, El Paso, Texas (Dr Hull and Ms Gongora); and School of Nursing, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama (Drs Holland, Lee, and Bordelon).
Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review is to provide an overview of postpartum depression (PPD) screening practices for mothers with infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), identify gaps in PPD screening, and provide potential solutions for improved screening.
Background: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends routine screening for PPD at the first, second, 4th, and 6th months of well-child visits. However, mothers of premature or critically ill infants in the NICU often miss this screening.
Clinical Outcomes of Hypertonic Saline vs Mannitol Treatment Among Children With Traumatic Brain Injury.
JAMA Netw Open

Children's Intensive Care Unit, SingHealth Paediatrics Academic Clinical Programme, KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Singapore.
Importance: The use of hypertonic saline (HTS) vs mannitol in the control of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) secondary to neurotrauma is debated.
Objective: To compare mortality and functional outcomes of treatment with 3% HTS vs 20% mannitol among children with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) at risk of elevated ICP.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective, multicenter cohort study was conducted between June 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022, at 28 participating pediatric intensive care units in the Pediatric Acute and Critical Care Medicine in Asia Network (PACCMAN) and the Red Colaborativa Pediátrica de Latinoamérica (LARed) in Asia, Latin America, and Europe.
