Caffeine for apnea of prematurity and brain development at 11 years of age.

Objective: Caffeine therapy for apnea of prematurity has been reported to improve brain white matter microstructure at term-equivalent age, but its long-term effects are unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether caffeine affects (1) brain structure at 11 years of age, and (2) brain development from term-equivalent age to 11 years of age, compared with placebo.

Methods: Preterm infants born ≤1250 g were randomly allocated to caffeine or placebo.

Diagnostic and cost utility of whole exome sequencing in peripheral neuropathy.

Objective: To explore the diagnostic utility and cost effectiveness of whole exome sequencing (WES) in a cohort of individuals with peripheral neuropathy.

Methods: Singleton WES was performed in individuals recruited though one pediatric and one adult tertiary center between February 2014 and December 2015. Initial analysis was restricted to a virtual panel of 55 genes associated with peripheral neuropathies.
