This study evaluated the correlation between retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), anaemia and blood transfusions in extremely preterm infants.We included 227 infants born below 28 weeks gestation at King Edward Memorial Hospital, Perth, Australia, from 2014-2016. Birth characteristics risk factors for ROP were retrieved, severe defined as a haemoglobins <110 g/L <80 g/L, respectively. Logistic regression was used analysis.Retinopathy treatment needed 11% cases mean number (p < 0.01), 0.001)...

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn is a serious clinical entity with significant mortality and long-term morbidity. The objective was to study profile myocardial function, especially diastolic in term infants treated nitric oxide.Unit electronic database accessed identify ≥34 weeks gestation who were administered oxide for over last 6 years. Medical records archived echocardiographic images retrieved. Those no echocardiogram on day administration oxide, concomitant congenital...
Objectives Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vasoproliferative disease the preterm retina with potential to cause irreversible blindness. Timely screening and treatment ROP are critical. Neonatal nurses trained in wide field digital retinal photography (WFDRP) for may provide safe effective strategy reduce burden ophthalmologists performing binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO). The objective study was determine diagnostic accuracy WFDRP diagnosis referral warranting (RWROP). Design...
Aim Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a biphasic vaso-proliferative disease that has the potential to cause blindness. In addition and hyperoxia, perinatal infection inflammation have been reported play critical role in pathogenesis ROP. The aim this study was assess association between placental severity Methods A retrospective infants (&lt;30 weeks gestational age) born at King Edward Memorial Hospital, tertiary center Western Australia. Results total 878 were included (ROP stage 0–2...
Poor weight gain in the first few weeks of life has been studied as a predictor retinopathy prematurity (ROP). Our aim was to assess whether time taken regain birthweight (BW) be used an additional marker identify infants with type 1 ROP.In this retrospective study, preterm (< 27 gestational age at birth) born during period from 1/1/2010-31/12/2015 tertiary neonatal intensive care unit Australia were included. Twenty-seven Type ROP identified. Controls (No or other than 1) matched cases on...
etinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a potentially blinding disease, has emerged in distinct epidemics, with low birth weight, gestational age, and exposure to oxygen identified as primary risk factors [1].Understanding its epidemiology highlighted the need for prevention through public health policies interventions.In low-to middle-income countries, unmonitored lack ROP screening have significant ROP-related blindness [2].While evidence-based approaches targeting, reducing sepsis, optimising...
Abstract Background: Poor weight gain in the first few weeks of life has been studied as a predictor retinopathy prematurity (ROP). Our aim was to assess whether time taken regain birthweight be used an additional marker identify infants needing treatment for ROP. Methods: In this retrospective study, preterm (<27 gestational age at birth) born during period from 1/1/2010-31/12/2015 level 3 neonatal intensive care unit Australia were included. 27 cases (ROP treatment) identified. Controls...
Abstract Objective To compare unintended events in transport performed by neonatal specialist (NS) and non-neonatal (NNS) teams Western Australia (WA). Study design: Retrospective comparison of transports from the Kimberley Pilbara regions (WA) to tertiary services, King Edward Memorial (perinatal) Perth Children’s Hospital NICU, (state capital, distance up 2200km) between January 2018 - June 2021. NS travelled referring center back. NNS center. Transport time, team composition, total...
Abstract Background: Preterm infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) are usually managed endotracheal intubation and surfactant administration followed by mechanical ventilation however this has immediate long-term complications. Hence, INSURE (Intubate, extubate) method combined continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) support been accepted as an alternative in eligible infants. Aim of study is to look at our experience administering the factors predisposing failure...
A 36 weeks old baby boy was transferred interstate to the national paediatric liver transplant unit at Children's Hospital, Westmead in Sydney for transplantation on Day 32 of life. Patient received 41 corrected age, which three days after arrival unit. This transfer involved road and aircraft ambulance utilization. We report this transport process setting severe neonatal failure, complicated by persistent, uncorrectable coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia, ascites, hyperammonia portal...
