This report describes the neonatal outcomes of 1765 very low birth weight (<1500 g) infants delivered from November 1987 through October 1988 at seven participating centers National Institute Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Intensive Care Network. Survival was 34% <751 g (range between 20% to 55%), 66% 751 1000 42% 75%), 87% 1001 1250 84% 91%), 93% 1251 1500 89% 98%).

The percentage of United States' births delivered by cesarean section has increased rapidly in recent years, even for women considered to be at low risk a section. purpose this paper is examine infant and neonatal mortality risks associated with primary compared vaginal delivery singleton full-term (37-41 weeks' gestation) no indicated medical or complications.National linked birth death data the 1998-2001 cohorts (5,762,037 live 11,897 deaths) were analyzed assess method cause death....
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) makes up the largest component of sudden unexpected in United States. Since first recommendations for supine placement infants to prevent SIDS 1992, postneonatal mortality rates declined 55% between 1992 and 2001.The objective this analysis was examine changes from 2001 determine if decline due part a shift certification deaths other causes death. In addition, reviews change attributed broad category States since 1950.US data were used. The International...
Linked birth certificate and infant death data from Missouri for 1979-1983 were used to explore the association of maternal smoking with age cause death. The included 305,730 singleton white livebirths, which 2,720 resulted in deaths. Using multiple logistic regression control confounding effects age, parity, marital status, education, authors found that was associated both neonatal post-neonatal mortality each except congenital anomalies. adjusted odds ratio higher postneonatal deaths than...
Objective. To compare the relative safety and efficacy of Infasurf (calf lung surfactant extract; ONY, Inc, Amherst, NY, IND #27169) versus Survanta (Beractant, Ross Laboratories, Columbus, OH) in reducing acute severity respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) when given at birth to infants with established RDS. Design. A prospective, randomized, double-blind, multicenter clinical trial. Setting. Thirteen neonatal intensive care units participated treatment arm: seven these concurrently...
The objective of this analysis was to compare the neonatal mortality rates for infants delivered through primary cesarean section versus vaginal delivery, taking into consideration a number potentially risk-modifying conditions.US linked birth and infant death certificate files 2000-2003 were used. Demographic, medical, labor delivery complications abstracted from with information. outcome examined (death at 0-27 days age). Because concern regarding misclassification gestational age,...
ABSTRACT: Background: The percentage of United States births delivered by cesarean section continues to increase, even for women considered be at low risk the procedure. purpose this study was use an “intention‐to‐treat” methodology, as recommended a National Institutes Health conference, examine neonatal mortality method delivery low‐risk women. Methods: Low‐risk were singleton, term (37–41 weeks’ gestation), vertex births, with no reported medical factors or placenta previa and prior...
The goal was to investigate the clinical impact of 3 early management practice changes for infants < or = 1000 g.We performed an historical cohort study appropriately sized, preterm without congenital anomalies who were born between January 2001 and June 2002 (pre-early change group; n 87) July 2004 December 2005 (post-early 76).Only 1 (1%) 87 in pre-early group received continuous positive airway pressure treatment first 24 hours life, compared with 61 (80%) 76 post-early group. proportions...
Summary Induction of labour is one the fastest growing medical procedures in United States. In 1998, 19.2% all US births were a product induced labour, more than twice 9.0% 1989. has been efficacious management post‐term pregnancy and expediting delivery when mother or infant sufficiently ill to make continuation hazardous. However, recent rapid increase induction, particularly doubling induction rate for preterm pregnancies (from 6.7% 1989 13.4% 1998), generated concern among some...
ABSTRACT: Background: Cesarean section appears to be associated with increased risk of neonatal mortality among infants low‐risk term pregnancies, but it may offer some survival advantage the most extremely preterm infants. The impact on intermediate (32–33 wk) and late (34–36 deliveries remains uncertain. objective this analysis was compare rate (death at 0–27 days), mechanical ventilation usage rate, incidence hyaline membrane disease delivered by primary cesarean compared those vaginally....
Objective. The introduction of the “Back to Sleep” campaign for prevention sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) brought with it concern that there might be an increase in incidence aspiration-related deaths. objective this analysis was describe trends postneonatal mortality and proportionate ratios United States years 1991 1996 deaths other causes which a SIDS could conceivably reclassified. Methods. Linked birth vital statistic files were used 1991, 1995, 1996. US Vital Statistic Mortality...
Using a multisource birth defects registry developed by the Missouri Center for Health Statistics years 1980-83, we examined relation between maternal smoking during pregnancy and occurrence of congenital malformations. There were 288,067 live singleton births in this data set which 10,223 had one or more When adjusted potential confounders odds ratio malformations infants women who smoked was not increased (odds = 0.98, 95% confidence interval 0.94 - 1.03). We groups using International...
The preceding report describes new evidence from around the world linking infant prone sleeping position and sudden death syndrome (SIDS). Other than in this report, much of recent information has not yet been published, except official governmental statistics reports various countries. Nevertheless, it seems clear that SIDS rates do decrease significantly after public campaigns aimed at reducing incidence sleeping. initial concern, a shift away might result an increase undesirable...
<h3>Background:</h3> Small for gestational age (SGA) infants have been reported to be at higher risk sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). <h3>Objective:</h3> To compare the of SIDS among SGA and large (LGA) with that from other causes unexpected deaths in infancy (SUDI) residual "other" death. <h3>Methods:</h3> The 2002 US period birth certificate linked file was used identify classified as (ICD-10 code R95), SUDI codes R00-Y84 excluding R95) or all codes. race sex-specific cohorts were...
Vancomycin has recently gained popularity as an empiric therapy for late onset sepsis in the NICU. Changes resistance patterns common organisms resulted targeting higher trough concentrations of vancomycin. Consequently, increase vancomycin associated nephrotoxicity been speculated. The objective this study is to compare incidence acute kidney injury (AKI) neonates with serum less than 10 mg/L, 10-15 or greater 15 mg/L.A retrospective chart review patients neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)...
Objective. To estimate the changes in birth weight- and gestational age-specific sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) mortality rates since publication of sleep-positioning recommendations by American Academy Pediatrics Task Force on Infant Positioning SIDS. Methods. This is a historical cohort study using US vital statistic linked certificate files for years 1991 1995. SIDS deaths were identified as any attributed toInternational Classification Diseases, Ninth Revisioncode 7980, occurring...
