Article Synopsis
- Newborn care guidelines suggest follow-up assessments within a week after discharge, but this study focuses on the impact of early follow-up visits (EFVs) within three days and their link to neonatal hospital readmission.
- Researchers analyzed data from the French National Health Care Database, involving healthy infants born in Southern France, and found that 2.25% were hospitalized, mainly due to infections and jaundice.
- The study concluded that infants with EFVs had a 13% lower chance of being rehospitalized, suggesting that these visits should be prioritized to enhance infant health and reduce healthcare expenses.

APHM, Neonatal Unit, Hospital University la Conception, 13005 Marseille, France.
This study aimed to evaluate the association between maternal gestational Vitamin D3 supplementation and early respiratory health in offspring. This was a population-based record-linkage study which used data from the French National Health Database System. Maternal Vitamin D3 supplementation consisted of a single high oral dose of cholecalciferol, (100,000 IU) from the seventh month of pregnancy, according to national guidelines.

Unlabelled: This study aims to determine the association of small for gestational age (SGA) and large for gestational age (LGA) at birth with hospital readmission after postpartum discharge for up to 28 days of delivery. This is a population-based, data-linkage study using the French National Uniform Hospital Discharge Database. "Healthy" singleton term infants born between January 1st, 2017, and November 30th, 2018, in the French South region were included.

Using data from a regional medical follow-up network database of preterm infants born with gestational age (GA) <33 weeks, we found that low GA and deprived socioeconomic neighborhoods increased incidence of infection-related hospitalization during the first year of life. Respiratory tract infections rates were higher in extremely preterm infants.

Article Synopsis
- - Vitamin D plays a role in lung development, but its impact on respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in extremely preterm (EPT) infants was not well-studied until this research, which investigated the effects of low vitamin D status at birth.
- - Researchers found that 74% of the studied infants had low vitamin D levels, which correlated with increased need for mechanical ventilation and a higher likelihood of poor respiratory outcomes, especially in those born before 26 weeks of gestation.
- - The study concluded that low vitamin D levels at birth are linked to adverse respiratory outcomes in infants born before 29 weeks of gestation, indicating a need for larger studies to further explore this association.

Necrotizing enterocolitis is a life-threatening acquired gastrointestinal disorder among preterm neonates and is associated with a high mortality rate and long-term neurodevelopmental morbidity. No etiologic agent has been definitively established; nonetheless, the most implicated bacteria include members of the genus. We reported here on a case of bacteremia in a preterm neonate with necrotizing enterocolitis, providing more information regarding the potential role of this bacterium in pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis.

Method: Population-based study based on new-born hospital birth admission charts from the French National Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set Database.
