Diagnosis is the most strenuous step in evaluation of neonatal sepsis. No gold standard diagnostic method available except for blood culture. We aimed to investigate role positive and negative acute phase reactants, namely presepsin fetuin-A, diagnosis culture-proven late-onset sepsis.A prospective, case-control study with infants ≤32 weeks age a sepsis was designed. Twenty-nine preterm similar gestational postnatal ages without constituted control group. Serum values presepsin, C-reactive...

Abstract Background and Objectives It is believed, that sustained lung inflation (SLI) at birth in preterm infants reduces the need for mechanical ventilation (MV) improves respiratory outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare MV high risk distress syndrome (RDS) after prophylactic SLI via short binasal prongs combined with early nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) versus nCPAP alone. Methods Medical records born 26 0/7 29 6/7 weeks gestation through 2015 2017 were...

Objective Serum lactate levels provide information on metabolic capacity at the cellular level. In addition, reflects tissue perfusion and oxygenation status. The aim of this study was to determine usefulness high as a marker in hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA), which may lead defects. Methods Preterm infants with gestational age ≤32 weeks birthweight ≤1500 g were included. Lactate determined postnatal 48‐72 hours before echocardiographic evaluation. Eligible...

Abstract Objective We investigated the relationship of serum potassium (K+) and ionized calcium (iCa2+) levels with persistence ductus arteriosus. Study Design This retrospective cohort study included infants birth weight < 1,500 g gestational age 32 weeks. Serum K+ iCa2+ at 1st 48th hour life were measured from samples. The difference between two was calculated for both (ΔK+) (ΔCa2+). These values compared hemodynamically significant patent arteriosus (hsPDA) non-hsPDA. Results Of 1,322...

Background: Prenatal diagnosis ameliorates some preoperative and postoperative outcomes in critical congenital heart disease (CHD). Despite large variability among anatomical defect types, nearly half of them are diagnosed antenatally. We aimed to investigate the effect antenatal on prereferral mortality infants with CHD a center without cardiovascular surgery clinic. Methods: Medical records neonates who were between years 2010 2016 Zekai Tahir Burak Women's health Education Research...

Objective The optimal noninvasive ventilation (NIV) modality in the treatment of transient tachypnea newborn (TTN) is still unknown. aim this study was to compare nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) versus bi-level CPAP TTN. Study Design This a prospective randomized that conducted tertiary level neonatal intensive care unit Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Education and Research Hospital during 1-year period between April 2017 March 2018. included infants at ≥34 gestational...

To investigate the weight gain pattern of preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) during hospital stay using weekly assessment methods.This single-center, retrospective, cohort study was carried out in Zekai Tahir Burak Maternal Health Education and Research Hospital between 2014 2018. One hundred fifty-one <32 weeks gestation <1500 g birth BPD were compared to 251 babies without terms gain, standard deviation score (SDS), fall SDS till discharge.Mean body significantly lower...

&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Introduction:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease resulting from isolated or unresponsiveness to adrenocorticotropic hormone. Patients with FGD usually present in infancy early childhood hyperpigmentation, recurrent infections, and hypoglycemia. The salt-wasting crisis rare. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Case Presentation:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; A term female neonate was admitted the neonatal intensive care unit due...

Objectives: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is associated with severe morbidity and mortality, which occurs due to surfactant deficiency in the lung.In present study, we aimed determine risk factors for RDS effect of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) on very low birth weight (VLBW<1500 g) infants. Materials Methods:The study was completed between January 2013 August 2017.Data eligible infants were obtained from hospital medical records.Patients divided groups without CH, those according...

Amaç: Özellikle prematüre bebeklerde önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite nedeni olan pnömotoraks, çocukluk çağında en sık yenidoğan döneminde görülür. Amacımız, ünitemizde pnömotoraks tanısı konulan yenidoğanların değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç Yöntemler: Zekai Tahir Burak Kadın Sağlığı Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesi Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım ünitesinde 1 Ocak 2015 ile 31 Aralık tarihleri arasında alarak izlenen bebeklerin kayıtları geriye dönük olarak incelenmiştir. Radyolojik doğrulanan bebekler...

Abstract Objective Antenatal magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) treatment is associated with reduced risk of cerebral palsy in preterm infants. We aimed to investigate whether this leads any alterations on hemodynamics which could be detected by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) readings early postnatal life. Study Design Infants gestational ages (GAs) ≤ 32 weeks were divided into two groups regarding their exposure antenatal neuroprotective MgSO4 or not. NIRS monitoring was performed all infants,...

Objective&#x0D; Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains critical morbidity in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. The etiology is multifactorial, and inflammation plays an essential role the pathogenesis. We aimed to investigate effect of early neonatal sepsis (ENS) on BPD other preterm morbidities VLBW infants.&#x0D; &#x0D; Materials Methods&#x0D; Preterm infants

Amaç: Bu çalışmada amacımız, çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı (ÇDDA) bebekleri Fenton-13 veya Intergrowth-21 büyüme standartlarına göre değerlendirerek gebelik yaşına ağırlığı (SGA) ve postnatal kısıtlılığı (PBK) insidansını karşılaştırmaktır

Magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4 ) treatment is widely used for fetal neuroprotection despite the controversy concerning side effects. There limited data regarding impact of various cumulative maternal doses and neonatal serum magnesium (Mg) levels on short-term morbidity mortality. We opted to carry out a study determine Mg outcomes.We conducted this prospective observational between 2017 2021. Antenatal MgSO was neuroprotective purpose only during period. Inborn preterm infants delivered 23 31...
