Objective. To assess whether the adequate antibody response observed in former extremely premature infants after primary series of immunizations is sustained first booster vaccines. Subjects and Methods. Sixteen (<29 weeks, <1000 g at birth) 17 full-term (>37 weeks) had sera obtained for titer measurement 3 to 4 years age. All received vaccines diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, andHaemophilus influenzae type b. Twelve preterm 14 children completed hepatitis B...
Maternal obesity has been associated with pregnancy-related complications and neonatal morbidities. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate early morbidities maternal from the infant-mother dyad data set at a single, large Regional Perinatal Center (RPC) in NY. A retrospective chart review all mother-infant dyads born January 2009 December 2019 done. defined using NIH definition pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 Kg/m2. included BMI, gestational diabetes, hypertension, mode...
Continuous improvement in the clinical performance of neonatal intensive care units (NICU) depends on use locally relevant, reliable data. However, databases with these characteristics are typically unavailable NICUs using paper-based records, while those electronic inaccuracy data and inability to customize commercial systems limit their usability for quality or research purposes. We describe uses a simple, neonatologist-centered system that has been successfully maintained 30 years,...
Objective More women are obese at their first prenatal visit and then subsequently gain further weight throughout pregnancy than ever before. The impact on the infant’s development of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) has not been well studied. Using defined physiologic neurologic criteria, our primary aim was to determine if maternal obesity conferred an additional risk HIE. Study Design Data from New York State Perinatal System all singleton, term births in Northeastern region...
Background Research on the effects of maternal obesity neonates has focused clinical outcomes. Despite growing interest in as a driver healthcare expenditure, financial impact neonatal setting is little understood. Objective To determine if associated with higher incurred costs NICU and full-term nursery. Methods Data for all live births (1/1/14–12/31/19) at our academic medical center was obtained from New York State Perinatal System infants >23 weeks gestational age. Financial data...
Objective Infants born at less than 34 weeks' gestational age are higher risk for morbidity and mortality. Data limited on the impact of maternal obesity very preterm infant. This study reviewed whether further increases intensive care needs infants gestation. Methods Maternal neonatal data live‐born singleton births 23 0/7 to 33 6/7 gestation delivering in upstate New York were reviewed. BMI categorization followed National Institutes Health classification that subdivides into three...
Background: Use of a single C-reactive protein (CRP) level has been studied in the pediatric population, but limited information is available for neonatal, particularly Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) infants. Objective: The objective this study to determine if CRP context other laboratory and clinical parameters, can assist decision-making antibiotic management. Materials Methods: We reviewed medical records infants admitted large regional perinatal center NICU over 2-year period....
Figure 1. A 16-year-old wrestler had thickened neocartilage in his ear as a result of several untreated auricular hematomas. He presented with recurrent hematoma that been drained two days earlier the emergency department. Panel shows superior anthelix and triangular fossa. The drainage site is center hematoma. After more extensive incision drainage, resection neocartilage, bolsters were placed on to maintain contact between perichondrium underlying cartilage. One day after surgery,...
The objective of this study was to determine if primary practitioners would continue enriched formula in preterm infants discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit. A 10-question survey mailed pediatricians and medicine/pediatrics family practitioners. Questions involved choice, length administration, adequacy growth. Of 436 surveys, 87 were returned (20% response rate). For scenario 1, a former 30-week infant, percentage physicians who correctly continued discharge 75%. 2, 29-week...
Background: Evidence exists that provider directed feeding may contribute to oral aversion or longer term disruptions. Studies have shown infants display cues indicating their readiness feed orally. A cue-based guideline standardizes the assessment of for an infant feeding. Objective: To determine if implementation will allow earlier achievement full feedings. Methods: Infants < 35 weeks gestation admitted our NICU from 1/1/2014- 12/31/2014 were included in …
: Obesity has become an ever-present problem regardless of age, gender or socioeconomic background. An increase over the past two decades also been noted in pregnant population. More women are obese at their first prenatal visit and then subsequently gain more weight throughout pregnancy than ever before. Maternal obesity can lead to problems not only mother but with process labor ensuing neonatal complications. The National Institute for Health definition three levels: Level I: BMI 30–34.9...
This section of Pediatrics in Review reminds clinicians those conditions that can present a misleading fashion and require suspicion for early diagnosis. Emphasis has been placed on which diagnosis is important the general pediatrician might be expected to encounter, at least once while. The reader encouraged write possible diagnoses each case before turning discussion, following page. We invite readers contribute presentations discussions. Case 1 Presentation A 7-year-old boy seen pediatric...
