Even though red blood cells (RBCs) are lifesaving in neonatal intensive care, transfusing older RBCs may result higher rates of organ dysfunction, nosocomial infection, and length hospital stay.To determine if stored for 7 days or less compared with usual standards decreased major infection dysfunction care unit patients requiring at least 1 RBC transfusion.Double-blind, randomized controlled trial 377 premature infants birth weights than 1250 g admitted to 6 Canadian tertiary units between...
Background Neonatal databases worldwide have become a prominent tool for benchmarking, evaluation of outcomes, and quality improvement initiatives. We aimed to assess the precision Canadian Network (CNN) database by conducting an internal audit data extraction. Methods An was conducted in all 31 neonatal units participating CNN. Ninety-five items selected reabstraction were classified into categories (critical, important, less important) based on predefined agreement rates. Five records...
This study aims to identify the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of late-onset sepsis in preterm neonates Canadian neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).This retrospective analysis included infants born at < 32 weeks' gestation admitted 29 NICUs Neonatal Network during years 2010 2011. Infants were classified into three groups: no infection, gram-positive gram-negative infection. Late-onset was defined as positive blood and/or spinal fluid cultures after 3 days birth. Risk factors...
The Multiple Courses of Antenatal Corticosteroids for Preterm Birth Study (MACS) showed no benefit in the reduction major neonatal mortality/morbidity or neurodevelopment at 2 and 5 years age. Using data from randomized controlled trial its follow-up, aim this study was to evaluate association between gestational ages birth children exposed single versus multiple courses antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) therapy utero outcomes A total 1719 children, with breakdown into groupings <30, 30–36, ≥...
Childhood obesity is related to low physical activity level and a sedentary lifestyle. The aim of this study was assess the behaviour Malaysian children aged 7 12 years examine their association with body mass index (BMI), BMI-for-age Z-score (BAZ), fatness (%BF) waist circumference (WC). A total 1736 children, representing all ethnic groups were recruited from six regions Malaysia. Anthropometric measurements included weight, height circumference. Body fat percentage assessed using...
<b>Objective</b> To assess trends in patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) management and examine concurrent changes neonatal mortality morbidities. <b>Methods</b> This retrospective observational study examined infants born at 23 to 32 weeks' gestational age with PDA admitted a unit during 2006 2012. Multivariable logistic regression assessed yearly treatment rates compared composite outcome of or any severe morbidity (bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular...
Diabetes in pregnancy is associated with a 2-times to 3-times higher rate of very preterm birth than women without diabetes. Very infants are at high risk death and severe morbidity. The association maternal diabetes these risks unclear.To determine the associations between in-hospital mortality, as well neonatal morbidity weight less 1500 g.This retrospective cohort study was conducted 7 national networks high-income countries that part International Neonatal Network for Evaluating Outcomes...
Socioeconomic factors and nutritional status have been associated with childhood cognitive development. However, previous Malaysian studies had conducted small populations inconsistent results. Thus, this present study aims to determine the association between socioeconomic performance in a nationally representative sample of children.A total 2406 children aged 5 12 years, who participated South East Asian Nutrition Surveys (SEANUTS), were included study. Cognitive [non-verbal intelligence...
To compare the rates of catheter-associated bloodstream infection (CABSI) in preterm infants born at <30 weeks' gestation who received a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) versus an umbilical venous (UVC) immediately after birth as their primary access.This retrospective matched cohort study examined data from and admitted between January 2010 December 2013 to neonatal units Canadian Neonatal Network. Eligible PICC on first day (day 1) were with 2 additional groups infants, those...
<b>Objective</b> Derive and validate a practical assessment of infant illness severity at admission to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). <b>Study Design</b> Prospective study involving 17,075 infants admitted 15 NICUs in 2006 2008. Logistic regression was used derive prediction model for mortality comprising four empirically weighted items (temperature, blood pressure, respiratory status, response noxious stimuli). This Transport Risk Index Physiologic Stability, version II (TRIPS-II)...
Background Very preterm infants are at high risk of death or severe morbidity. The objective was to determine the significance congenital heart defects (CHDs) for these risks. Methods and Results This cohort study included from 10 countries born 2007-2015 24 31 weeks' gestation with birth weights <1500 g. Severe CHDs were defined by International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) Tenth (ICD-10) codes categorized as those compromising systemic output, causing sustained cyanosis,...
Background: The main cause of malnutrition in Indonesia is insufficient nutrient intake, necessitating efforts to supplement nutrients through supplementary feeding. Conversely, possesses a variety local food ingredients that remain underutilized, thus requiring processing enrich the content snacks for combating malnutrition.malnourished Wistar rats. Methods: Employing randomized control group pretest-posttest design, male rats divided into four groups, each comprising 6 samples. These...
