A new mode of surfactant administration without intubation - less invasive (LISA) has recently been described for premature infants.We report single-center outcome data extremely infants who have managed by LISA in our department. Mortality and morbidity rates the cohort were compared to historical controls from own center Vermont-Oxford Neonatal Network (VONN).All born at 23-27 weeks' gestational age during 01/2009 06/2011 (n = 224) included study group.LISA was tolerated 94% all infants....

Therapeutic hypothermia (HT) has been shown to reduce the risk of death or disability and increase rate survival free -disability at 18-24 months age in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).The aim this study was take a national survey which (a) evaluated practice therapeutic HT for perinatal asphyxia Austria, (b) current clinical management neonatal HIE (c) need registry.In January 2013, questionnaire sent out heads all level-II level-III units Austria.We received replies from 30 level II...
Abstract Aim This retrospective cohort study aimed to assess the utility of maternal C‐reactive protein (CRP) and leukocyte levels in predicting neonatal sepsis after preterm premature rupture membranes (pPROM). Methods We conducted a (2009–2021), encompassing infants born ≤29 + 6 weeks gestation following pPROM. The primary outcome was early‐onset within initial 72 h life. Results analysed data from 706 patients with median gestational age at pPROM 25.1 birth 26.4 weeks. Overall survival...
Type of delivery onset is not currently evaluated for its predictive impact. This study explored whether the type preterm was an antenatal predictor post-natal mortality in infants <30 weeks' gestation and should be included counselling.This retrospective cohort 1117 born between 1999 2008 a tertiary perinatal referral centre. Study patients were classified into spontaneous or iatrogenic deliveries. Spontaneous deliveries after premature rupture membranes (PPROM) labour. The outcome infant...

Abstract Streptococcus pneumoniae is a commensal of the human upper respiratory tract. In certain cases, it can lead to serious invasive infections peaking in very young children and elderly. Especially are frequent carriers thus regarded as reservoir for horizontal transmission pneumococci. This first study evaluating pneumococcal colonization patterns healthcare professionals working tertiary care pediatric hospital, including carriage prevalence, serotype distribution, risk factors...
Placental anomalies visualized at midgestation by MRI are shown to be related pregnancy outcome. We performed a prospective cohort study investigate the influence of placental pathologies diagnosed with fetal on long-term neurodevelopmental outcome.In our hospital-based, cross-sectional study, all examinations pregnancies vascular pathology (i.e. infarction with/without hemorrhage, subchorionic thrombi/hemorrhages, intervillous thrombi/hemorrhages or retroplacental hematoma) between 2003 and...
Abstract Data evaluating mortality and morbidity in infants born ≤500 g are scarce show wide variability. To support counselling decision‐making, we analysed neurodevelopmental outcome all neonates birth weight. Retrospective analysis including preterm with a weight gestational age >22 weeks at single tertiary perinatal centre between 2010 2017. Of 59 live births, 88% received standard care. Birth ranged from 318 to 500 23 29 weeks. 56% of were ≤3rd percentile 42% treated survived....
Abstract Pharyngeal carriage is the reservoir for Neisseria meningitidis in population and first step disease transmission. Especially young infants adolescents, N. can cause serious invasive infection with high fatality rates of long-term sequelae among survivors. The aim this study was to determine colonization asymptomatic health care professionals at a tertiary university pediatric hospital identify risk factors carriage. This cross-sectional meningococcal survey conducted between April...
A survey was conducted to describe the benefits of and challenges practitioner participation in Practitioners Engaged Applied Research Learning (PEARL) Network, a dental practice-based research network (PBRN). The results were compared with from medical PBRNs across different tiers (based on practitioner-investigators previous involvement PEARL protocols).A 39-item web-based addressed PBRN three levels: individual/practitioner, practice (office), community/professional. Participants also...
Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) stands as a primary contributor to preterm deliveries worldwide, closely linked consequential infectious peripartum complications, including chorioamnionitis and early-onset neonatal sepsis. As prophylactic measure, individuals following pPROM routinely undergo antibiotic treatment. The aim this study was evaluate changes in the vaginal microbial colonization after treatment pPROM. Therefore, we retrospectively assessed impact on maternal 438...
Culture-proven sepsis is the gold standard in early-onset neonatal diagnosis. Infants born ≤29 weeks gestation after preterm rupture of membranes years 2009-2015 were included a retrospective cohort study performed at level III fetal-maternal unit. The aimed to compare culture-proven sepsis, clinical and positive laboratory biomarkers ≤72 h as predictors mortality before discharge combined outcome or severe short-term morbidity (severe cerebral morbidity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia...
Context There are controversial data regarding the impact of small for gestational age (SGA) on mortality, morbidities and neurodevelopmental outcome within very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates. Additional is required to offer evidence-based supporting prenatal counselling.
