Post-perinatal infant mortality (PPIM; deaths from the 8th day to the end of the 1st year of life) was studied in Glasgow over the 3-year period 1979-81. The 244 deaths were divided into three main categories--those determined at birth, those due to accidents and acquired disease, and cot deaths. 50% of deaths were determined at birth, and of these 46% were due to prematurity and 49% to congenital disorder. Cot deaths accounted for 44% of the total (88% of deaths not determined at birth) and a definite cause could be identified in only 10% of these. The PPIM rate was 6.1 per 1000 livebirths, a significant part of the infant mortality rate of 12.6. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to the possible reduction of these figures.

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is a global issue, with the World Health Organization identifying it as one of the greatest threats to public health, with an estimated 4.95 million deaths linked to bacterial AMR in 2019. Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of mortality among multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO)-infected patients in state hospitals and major specialist hospitals and to identify risk factors that could be associated with mortality outcomes.

Mortality Prediction in Newborns With Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension: A Comparison of Four Illness Severity Scores.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the accuracy of four neonatal illness severity scores for predicting mortality in persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).
Study Design: This retrospective study included neonates diagnosed with PPHN between 2013 and 2022. The illness severity scores of four commonly used tools were completed for each infant: the Clinical Risk Index for Babies-II (CRIB-II), the Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology-Perinatal Extension version II (SNAPPE-II) in the first 12 h after admission and maximum oxygenation index (OI) and Vasoactive-Inotropic score (VIS) during the first 24 h (OI24max and VIS24max), 48 h (OI48max and VIS48max), and 72 h (OI72max and VIS72max) after admission.

Enteropathogens are major contributors to mortality and morbidity, particularly in settings with limited access to water, sanitation, and hygiene infrastructure. To assess transmission pathways associated with enteropathogen infection, we measured household environmental conditions and assayed 22 enteropathogens using TaqMan Array Cards in stool samples from 276 six-month-old children living in communities along a rural-urban gradient in Northern Ecuador. We utilized multivariable models, risk factor importance, and distance-based statistical methods to test factors associated with infection.

Background: Periviable infants are a highly vulnerable neonatal group, and their survival rates are considerably affected by patient-, caregiver-, and institution-level factors, exhibiting wide variability across different income countries and time periods. This study aims to systematically review the literature on the survival rates of periviable infants and compare rates among countries with varied income levels and across different time periods.
Methods: Comprehensive searches were conducted across MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and Web of Science.
