Background Lifelong pulmonary consequences of being born extremely preterm or with low birth weight remain unknown. We aimed to describe lung function trajectories from 10 35 years age for individuals preterm, and address potential cohort effects over a period that encompassed major changes in perinatal care. Methods performed repeated spirometry three population-based cohorts at gestational ≤28 weeks ≤1000 g during 1982–85, 1991–92 1999–2000, referred as preterm-born, term-born controls...
Detection of a heart murmur in healthy children is common, but may generate anxiety among parents. Many parents believe sign disease, although the majority murmurs are innocent. The purpose this study was to assess and concerns referred for evaluation evaluate effect receiving fact sheet about before cardiologic consultation. Parents responded questionnaires assessing family patient characteristics, parental anxiety. Anxiety measured using State Trait Index (STAI) two weeks after One third...
<b>Introduction:</b> Perinatal medicine has changed considerably since the 1980s. Although survival improved for infants born extremely preterm (EP), they still suffer from significant morbidity. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is one of most common complications, leading to compromised lung function in early adulthood. <b>Aims:</b> To adress pulmonary outcome at 18 years age EP cohorts different decades; with changing neonatal treatment and survival. <b>Methods:</b> Three population-based...
<b>Introduction:</b> Lung function peaks in the early 20s, before gradually declining with age. Survivors of extremely preterm (EP) birth fail to reach their full potential adulthood, and early-onset COPD is a dreaded scenario (1). <b>Aims:</b> To assess spirometric variables EP-born adults, after expected peak lung function. <b>Methods:</b> Two population-based cohorts subjects born at gestational age ≤ 28 weeks or weight 1000 grams 1982-85 1991-92 individually matched term-born control...
<b>Introduction:</b> The introduction of surfactant and other medical advances has increased the survival extremely preterm (EP) born infants. immature lungs EP infants in pre-surfactant era were subject to considerable mechanical trauma, whereas their received treatment since been continously refined. Their adult lung-function outcomes are yet unknown, first large groups just now entering mid-adulthood. Early development COPD is a dreaded scenario. <b>Aims:</b> To assess pulmonary risk at...
