Problems related to prematurity are the main cause of morbidity in newborns and infants. Between 80% 85% preterm babies born between 320 366 weeks gestation. In Spain, there is no guide for perinatal management long-term follow-up moderately late (MLPT) For this reason, SEN32-36 group Spanish Society Neonatology has developed a guideline with recommendations both (prenatal care, initial care delivery room ward, neonatal respiratory pathology, breastfeeding feeding difficulties,...
Outbreaks of nosocomial influenza virus infections have been described rarely during childhood and even less so in the neonatal period.We report 30 neonates admitted to 2 intensive care units with A infection, which occurred outbreaks 1999. Risk factors for infection were evaluated, control measures adopted. Virus was detected by indirect immunofluorescence antibody screen. Any infant nasopharyngeal aspirate positive considered infected.Of 95 infants screened (31.5%). Mean birth weight 1622...
Aims: This study compared glycemic control and maternal fetal outcomes in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) treated multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) using regular (RI) lispro (LP) insulin. Methods: Three hundred fifteen consecutive singleton pregnancies of T1DM the same program since before pregnancy (196 MDI NPH + RI, 16 LP, 44 CSII 59 LP) were studied. Variables assessed included glycated hemoglobin, mean blood glucose...
In diabetic pregnancy, neonatal hypoglycemia (NH) is usually attributed to insufficient regulation of maternal glycemic control. Recent data suggest that body mass index (BMI) could have an influence.Our objective was determine whether association exists between prepregnancy BMI category and occurrence NH among infants born women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).This a retrospective study including all GDM pregnancies delivered 1986 2006 at tertiary care center (Hospital de la Santa...
This study evaluated the impact of an exclusive human milk diet to nourish extremely low birth weight infants in neonatal intensive care unit.This multicenter pre-post retrospective included all inborn <1,000 g admitted four Level IV units either before or after implementing a donor policy. The feeding protocol was unchanged both periods. Collected data maternal/infant demographics, infant clinical data, and enteral intake as mother's own milk, formula.Two hundred one were enrolled. Infant...
Objectives: To examine the effect of early human milk (HM) feeding on incidence retinopathy prematurity (ROP) among very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants.Methods: Observational cohort research in a Level III neonatal intensive care unit. A total 186 infants were enrolled this pre–post study (114 included HM-fed group and 72 formula-fed group). ROP, type (early exclusive HM versus any formula), potential confounding variables measured. Differences between groups explored.Results: The clinical...
In the care of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), more attention is put on glycemic control than in factors such as weight gain (GWG). We aimed to evaluate rate inadequate GWG GDM, its clinical predictors and association pregnancy outcomes.Cohort retrospective analysis.GWG according Institute Medicine 2009 18 outcomes. Clinical characteristics were considered both covariates outcome prediction.descriptive, multinomial logistic regression.We assessed 2842 diagnosed GDM 1985-2011...
ABSTRACT The immigration of Latin American women childbearing age has spread the congenital transmission Chagas disease to areas nonendemicity, and is now a worldwide problem. Some European health authorities have implemented screening programs prevent vertical transmission, but lack uniform protocol calls for urgent establishment new strategy common all laboratories. Our aims were (i) analyze trend passive IgG antibodies in newborn by means five serological tests diagnosis follow-up...
Multiple pregnancy increases the risk of a range adverse perinatal outcomes, including breastfeeding failure. However, studies on predictive factors duration in preterm twin infants have conflicting result. The purpose this observational study was to compare feeding practices, at hospital discharge, and singleton very low birth weight infants. is part prospective survey national Spanish cohort (SEN1500) that includes 62 neonatal units. population comprised all registered network from 2002...
The management of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature newborns is based on different types non-invasive support and surfactant replacement therapy (SRT) to avoid mechanical ventilation as it may eventually result lung damage. European guidelines currently recommend SRT only when the fraction inspired oxygen (FiO2) exceeds 0.30. literature describes that early decreases risk bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) mortality. Lung ultrasound score (LUS) preterm infants affected by RDS...
Background. The aim of the study was to analyze association between period diagnosis gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and maternal neonatal outcome. Methods. In this retrospective study, 1708 offspring (1571 singleton, 119 twins, 18 triplets) born women with GDM who attended Diabetic Pregnancy Clinic were included. Pregnancies divided into three groups according age at diagnosis. fetal outcome assessed adjusting for potentially confounding variables (logistic regression analysis)....
An increased rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is reported in extremely preterm infants. A potential role human milk feeding protecting against this condition has been suggested.A retrospective descriptive study was conducted based on data about morbidity the population infants born between 22+0 and 26+6 weeks gestation, included Spanish network SEN1500 during period 2004-2019 discharged alive. The primary outcome moderate-severe BPD. Associated conditions were studied, including at...
Previous research has reported that infants fed donor milk grow slower than those formula. However, most of the trials used unfortified milk, which limits ability to generalize results current clinical practice.To evaluate impact early human feeding (donor and/or mother's own milk) with standard fortification on in-hospital growth very low-birth-weight infants.This pre-/postretrospective study included selected newborn less 1500 g admitted a level IV neonatal intensive care unit before and...
To assess perinatal outcome in women with pregestational diabetes mellitus according to the sex of fetus. A retrospective review all singleton pregnancies progressing a gestational age 22 weeks or more who attended and pregnancy clinic from 1981 2006 (n=455). We compared maternal characteristics outcomes (perinatal mortality, major congenital malformations, small large for newborns, preterm birth composite former) logistic regression analysis was performed using as dependent variable...
Background: Previous studies comparing the neonatal outcome of very low birth weight (VLBW) multiples and singletons have suggested a worse for at gestational ages on limits viability.Objectives: The objective this study is to determine mortality morbidity VLBW compared singletons.Methods: This retrospective including all infants registered in Spanish network under 1500 g (SEN1500), over 12-year period (from 2002 2013). Mortality major morbidities were between multiples.Results: About 32,770...
La población de prematuros tardíos (PT), aquellos nacidos entre las 340 y 366 semanas gestación, representa el 70-74% todos los prematuros, no está incluida forma específica en la mayoría protocolos seguimiento para niños prematuros. Durante muchos años PT han sido manejados como si recién a término se tratasen, lo que ha llevado al desconocimiento su evolución medio largo plazo. A morbilidad neonatal añade una mayor incidencia afección posnatal, con tasa reingresos hospitalarios por...
