Objectives: The aim of this study is to identify the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory features coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children. Methods: A retrospective was conducted by pediatric infectious specialists from 32 different hospitals all over Turkey case record forms. Pediatric cases who were diagnosed as COVID-19 between March 16, 2020, June 15, 2020 included. Case characteristics including age, sex, dates onset diagnosis, family, contact information recorded. Clinical...
Neonatal sepsis is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in newborns. The causative agents may be different units change time. It was aimed to examine the microbiological leading sepsis, clinical features antibiotic resistances babies with hospitalized our unit a two-year period.The features, laboratory results, resistance patterns rates newborns followed up between 2010 2011 were examined patient record system.351 diagnosed among 3219 patients neonatal intensive care included study....
One of the most challenging aspects in management neonates with late-onset neonatal sepsis (LOS) is to make diagnosis. Presepsin a novel and promising marker sepsis. The aim this study was assess role presepsin diagnosis LOS preterm infants.Forty-two premature newborns ≤32 weeks gestational age were prospectively involved study. Forty postnatal age-matched infants without served as controls. Levels presepsin, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin measured at enrollment on third seventh days...
Purpose: To evaluate 2-year outcomes following intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) as monotherapy for aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (APROP). Methods: Medical records 40 infants were retrospectively reviewed. Group I included who had received IVB injections APROP. II underwent laser treatment Anatomic and refractive the presence anisometropia strabismus assessed at follow-up examinations. Results: 48 eyes 25 (11 males) with a mean gestational age (GA) 26.40 ± 1.82 weeks birth...
Caffeine is a proven medication used for the prevention and treatment of apnea in premature infants, offering both short- long-term benefits. International guidelines provide range recommendations regarding preterm population eligible caffeine prophylaxis, including timing, dosage, duration treatment. Our national guidelines, published prior to most recent updates international recommend use citrate starting from first day after delivery infants with gestational age <28 weeks. For up 32...
Rhesus haemolytic disease is a continuing problem in the newborn especially countries where use of anti-D immunoglobulin not prevalent. The fetuses may need intrauterine transfusions to prevent hydrops faetalis and they also exchange treat hyperbilirubinaemia that develops after birth. These interventions expose baby several blood donors, hence risk infection transfusions. This study was performed test whether high-dose intravenous soon birth these infants reduced for After randomization,...
<b>Objective</b> This study aims to develop a scoring system for the prediction of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). <b>Methods</b> Medical records 652 infants whose gestational age and birth weight were below 32 weeks 1,500 g, respectively, who survived beyond 28th postnatal day reviewed retrospectively. Logistic regression methods used determine clinical demographic risk factors within first 72 hours life associated with BPD, as well weights these on developing BPD. Predictive accuracy was...
Objective: Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) colonisation can be controlled with strict adherence to infection control measures. We describe a VRE outbreak coincident bacterial probiotic trial. Relationship between and colonisation, other possible risk factors were investigated.Methods: Two hundred ten infants gestational age less than 32 weeks had been randomised for trial preparation containing Lactobacillus casei, rhamnosus, plantarum, Bifidobacterium lactis, fructooligosaccharide,...
Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a significant cause of mortality and short- long-term morbidities. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) has been shown to be the standard care for HIE infants ≥36 weeks gestational age (GA), as it demonstrated reduce rates mortality, adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. This study aims determine incidence in our country, assess TH management with HIE, present short-term outcomes these infants.The Turkish Ischemic Encephalopathy Online Registry database was...
<b>Objective</b> Since probiotics modulate intestinal functions and enterohepatic circulation; they might have an effect on neonatal hyperbilirubinemia treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy <i>Saccharomyces boulardii</i> supplementation hyperbilirubinemia. <b>Study Design</b> A prospective, double-blind, placebo controlled trial performed 35 42 gestational weeks' neonates. They were randomized either receive feeding with <i>S. 125 mg every 12 hours or during...
Background: Late preterm infants have increased rates of morbidity and mortality compared to term infants.Determining the risk factors in these leads more comprehensive preventive treatment strategies.Aims: Our aim was analyse such as respiratory system diseases, infections, congenital anomalies, hypoglycemia hematologic abnormalities a large group patients at referral center.Study Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.Methods: Medical records late who were managed center...
Retinopathy of prematurity is a pathophysiological condition that occurs in relation to abnormal proliferation the retinal vessels premature babies. Its exact pathogenesis not known. In Turkey, increased chance survival babies with much younger gestational age and lower birth weight parallel developments neonatal care causes retinopathy prematurity, which has led vision problems blindness emerge as more frequent problem. Early diagnosis timely appropriate treatment contributes developmental...
Objective: To determine if near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), which is easier to obtain than Doppler ultrasonography (USG), may be used in accordance with USG provide additional data for assessment of organ blood flow velocities preterm infants hemodynamically significant PDA.Study design: Thirty-one who were treated ibuprofen closure PDA monitored continuously NIRS. Cerebral, mesenteric, and renal arterial measured before after the treatment.Results: While cerebral, fractional oxygen...
Probiotics and prebiotics have strain-specific effects on the host. Synbiotics, a mixture of probiotics prebiotics, are proposed to more beneficial host than either agent has alone.We performed randomized controlled trial investigate effect Lactobacillus Bifidobacterium together with oligosaccharides lactoferrin development necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or sepsis in very low birth weight neonates.Neonates gestational age ≤32 weeks ≤1,500 g were enrolled. The study group received...
Sepsis is an important cause of neonatal death and perinatal brain damage, particularly in preterm infants. It thought that activation the inflammatory cascade triggered by cytokine might play a role pathogenesis sepsis. Recent evidence supports for resistin inflammation. There are no data literature on levels premature newborns with sepsis, which can also response. The objective this study was to evaluate whether be used as indicator sepsis babies.Forty-three considered have were included...
