Timing of surfactant treatment in respiratory distress syndrome.

The introduction of exogenous surfactant in the 1980s has resulted in an improved survival of very preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Randomized controlled trials conducted before 2000 have shown that the magnitude of this beneficial effect strongly depends on the timing of surfactant treatment, i.e.

Effect of routine suction on lung aeration in critically ill neonates and young infants measured with electrical impedance tomography.

Endotracheal suctioning is a widely used procedure to remove secretions from the airways of ventilated patients. Despite its prevalence, regional effects of this maneuver have seldom been studied. In this study, we explore its effects on regional lung aeration in neonates and young infants using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) as part of the large EU-funded multicenter observational study CRADL.

Interrater Reliability for Classifying Craniofacial Microsomia Severity: A Call for Objective Evaluation.

Objective: The severity of craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is generally classified using the Orbit, Mandible, Ear, Soft tissue, Nerve (OMENS) classification score. The global assessment of the Phenotypic Assessment Tool for Craniofacial Microsomia (PAT-CFM), is a pictorial modification of the OMENS classification. The aim of this study was to assess the interrater reliability of the PAT-CFM global assessment score.

Assessment of cervical softening and the prediction of preterm birth (STIPP): protocol for a prospective cohort study.

Introduction: Preterm birth (PTB) is among the leading causes of perinatal and childhood morbidity and mortality. Therefore, accurate identification of pregnant women at high risk of PTB is key to enable obstetric healthcare professionals to apply interventions that improve perinatal and childhood outcomes. Serial transvaginal cervical length measurement is used to screen asymptomatic pregnant women with a history of PTB and identify those at high risk for a recurrent PTB.

Favorable surgical and obstetrical outcomes in pre- and postconceptional laparoscopic abdominal cerclage: a large multicenter cohort study.

Background: Cervical incompetence is an important cause of extremely preterm delivery. Without specialized treatment, cervical incompetence has a 30% chance of recurrence in a subsequent pregnancy. Recently, the first randomized controlled trial showed significant superiority of abdominal cerclage compared with both high and low vaginal cerclage in preventing preterm delivery at <32 weeks of gestation and fetal loss in patients with a previous failed vaginal cerclage.

Predicting long-term neurocognitive outcome after pediatric intensive care unit admission for bronchiolitis-preliminary exploration of the potential of machine learning.

Purpose: For successful prevention and intervention, it is important to unravel the complex constellation of factors that affect neurocognitive functioning after pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission. This study aims (1) to elucidate the potential relevance of patient and PICU-related characteristics for long-term adverse neurocognitive outcome after PICU admission for bronchiolitis, and (2) to perform a preliminary exploration of the potential of machine learning as compared to linear regression to improve neurocognitive outcome prediction in a relatively small sample of children after PICU admission.

Methods: This cross-sectional observational study investigated 65 children aged 6-12 years with previous PICU admission for bronchiolitis (age ≤ 1 year).

Effect of Systemic Hydrocortisone on Brain Abnormalities and Regional Brain Volumes in Ventilator-dependent Infants Born Preterm: Substudy of the SToP-BPD Study.

Objective: To evaluate whether a high cumulative dose of systemic hydrocortisone affects brain development compared with placebo when initiated between 7 and 14 days after birth in ventilated infants born preterm.

Study Design: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial was conducted in 16 neonatal intensive care units among infants born at <30 weeks of gestation or with a birth weight of <1250 g who were ventilator-dependent in the second week after birth. Three centers performed MRI at term-equivalent age.

Practice variation in timing of antenatal corticosteroid administration in early-onset fetal growth restriction: A secondary analysis of the Dutch STRIDER study.

Introduction: In early-onset fetal growth restriction the fetus fails to thrive in utero due to unmet fetal metabolic demands. This condition is linked to perinatal mortality and severe neonatal morbidity. Maternal administration of corticosteroids in high-risk pregnancies for preterm birth at a gestational age between 24 and 34 weeks has been shown to reduce perinatal mortality and morbidity.

Implementing Contralateral Surgical Exploration during Hernia Repair in Children with Unilateral Inguinal Hernia: A Dutch Qualitative Study.

A total of 10-15% of children undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair develop a metachronous contralateral inguinal hernia (MCIH) that necessitates second anesthesia and surgery. Contralateral exploration can be performed to prevent MCIH development. This study investigates (1) factors that promote or hinder the adoption and (de-)implementation of contralateral groin exploration in children ≤ 6 months undergoing unilateral hernia repair and (2) strategies to overcome these barriers.

Potential benefits of routine cystoscopy and vaginoscopy prior to reconstructive surgery in patients with an anorectal malformation.

Purpose: First, to assess the number of patients with anorectal malformations (ARM) in whom additional urological and/or gynecological anomalies were identified through routine screening with cysto- or vaginoscopy prior to reconstructive surgery. Second, to assess potential procedure-related complications.

Methods: Retrospective mono-center cohort study, including all ARM patients born between January 2019 and December 2022.

What is the future of artificial intelligence in obstetrics? A qualitative study among healthcare professionals.

Objective: This work explores the perceptions of obstetrical clinicians about artificial intelligence (AI) in order to bridge the gap in uptake of AI between research and medical practice. Identifying potential areas where AI can contribute to clinical practice, enables AI research to align with the needs of clinicians and ultimately patients.

Design: Qualitative interview study.

The effect of dietary interventions on pain and quality of life in women diagnosed with endometriosis: a prospective study with control group.

Study Question: What is the influence of dietary interventions, namely the low fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides, and polyols (Low FODMAP) diet and endometriosis diet, on endometriosis-related pain and quality of life (QoL) compared to a control group?

Summary Answer: After adhering to a dietary intervention for 6 months, women with endometriosis reported less pain and an improved QoL compared to baseline whereas, compared to the control group, they reported less bloating and a better QoL in 3 of 11 domains.

What Is Known Already: Standard endometriosis treatment can be insufficient or may be accompanied by unacceptable side effects. This has resulted in an increasing interest in self-management strategies, including the appliance of the Low FODMAP diet and the endometriosis diet (an experience-based avoidance diet, developed by women with endometriosis).

Generation of Aerosols by Noninvasive Respiratory Support Modalities: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Importance: Infection control guidelines have historically classified high-flow nasal oxygen and noninvasive ventilation as aerosol-generating procedures that require specialized infection prevention and control measures.

Objective: To evaluate the current evidence that high-flow nasal oxygen and noninvasive ventilation are associated with pathogen-laden aerosols and aerosol generation.

Data Sources: A systematic search of EMBASE and PubMed/MEDLINE up to March 15, 2023, and CINAHL and ClinicalTrials.

Anatomical Gynecological Anomalies in Girls Born with Anorectal Malformations: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 128 Patients.

Study Objective: In girls born with an anorectal malformation (ARM), anatomical gynecological anomalies (GA) may be present and might need treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide an overview of GA in girls born with ARM in our cohort. Additionally, diagnostic timing and methods for GA were assessed.

Oral Versus Subcutaneous Methotrexate in Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disorders: an Update of the Current Literature.

Purpose: This review aims to critically evaluate the potential benefit of either oral or subcutaneous administration of methotrexate (MTX) in various immune-mediated inflammatory disorders (IMIDs) through analysis of efficacy, toxicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of both administration routes.

Recent Findings: Recent studies comparing the efficacy of oral versus subcutaneous MTX administration in IMIDs have revealed contradicting results. Some reported higher efficacy with subcutaneous administration, while others found no significant difference.

The Prevalence and Clinical Impact of Transition Zone Anastomosis in Hirschsprung Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Hirschsprung disease (HD) is characterized by absent neuronal innervation of the distal colonic bowel wall and is surgically treated by removing the affected bowel segment via pull-through surgery (PT). Incomplete removal of the affected segment is called transition zone anastomosis (TZA). The current systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the prevalence and clinical impact of TZA.

Attitudes of Patients with Adrenoleukodystrophy towards Sex-Specific Newborn Screening.

Newborn screening (NBS) for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) can identify affected individuals before the onset of life-threatening manifestations. Some countries have decided to only screen boys (sex-specific screening). This study investigates the attitudes of individuals with ALD towards sex-specific NBS for ALD.

Self-control and grit are associated with school performance mainly because of shared genetic effects.

Background: By combining the classical twin design with regression analysis, we investigated the role of two non-cognitive factors, self-control and grit, in the prediction of school performance. We did so at the phenotypic, genetic, and environmental level.

Methods: Teachers filled out a survey on the twins' school performance (school grades for reading, literacy, and math), self-control (ASEBA self-control scale), and grit (the perseverance aspect) for 4891 Dutch 12-years-old twin pairs (3837 pairs with data for both and 1054 pairs with data for one of the twins).
