The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Committee on Fetus Newborn defined the safe concentrations in 2011 guideline for newborns at risk hypoglycemia. This study aimed to investigate incidence associated factors hypoglycemia newborn infants having assess compliance with AAP guideline.According hypoglycemia, included this were divided four groups [infant diabetic mother (IDM),...
Objective To investigate the early neonatal outcomes of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants discharged home from intensive care units (NICUs) in Turkey. Material and methods A prospective cohort study was performed between April 1, 2016 30, 2017. The included VLBW admitted to level III NICUs. Perinatal data all born with a birth weight ≤1500 g were collected for who survived. Results Data 69 NICUs obtained. mean gestational age 1137±245 29±2.4 weeks, respectively. During period, 78%...
Healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) in the neonatal period cause substantial morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Our purpose was to determine prevalence of HAIs, antimicrobial susceptibility causative agents, adaptivity Centres for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) criteria HAI diagnosis.A point survey conducted intensive care units (NICUs) 31 hospitals from different geographic regions Turkey.The Point 7.6%. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) central line-associated bloodstream...
Infants who are born at 340/7 to 366/7 weeks of gestation (late preterm) greater risk for respiratory and other neonatal morbidities. The objective this study was examine the effects administration antenatal corticosteroids (ACSs) women late preterm delivery on incidence outcomes.This a prospective cohort singleton gestations imminent between weeks. Neonatal outcomes were compared mothers received ACS those did not. Primary outcome rate composite morbidity defined as need treatment within 72...
Background: Vitamin D and its receptor (VDR) have important roles in perinatal lung development. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible association between VDR FokI TaqI polymorphism development respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) preterm infants.Method: A total 173 premature infants <34 weeks: 82 with RDS 91 without were enrolled. Genotyping polymorphisms assayed by real-time PCR. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25-OHD) levels measured ELISA blood samples that obtained at time...
The aim of this study was to identify the effects antenatal steroids (ANS) on acute kidney injury (AKI) in very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants.We performed a retrospective cohort VLBW infants admitted tertiary-care neonatal intensive care unit between January 2016 and June 2019. Infants were divided into no ANS, partial complete ANS groups. Serum creatinine (SCr) levels rates AKI during first 2 weeks life compared.During period, 335 met our inclusion criteria. Among no, partial,...

Neonatal outcomes were compared mothers received ACS those did not. primary outcome rate composite morbidity defined as need treatment within 72...
Objective: The study aims to determine the effects of nasopharyngeal suction with negative and positive pressure on pain level, respiratory parameters, mucosal irritation in infants. Methods: This was conducted as a posttest randomized controlled experimental research. data collected at Göztepe Training Research Hospital between January November 2020. While method applied group, control group. Results: It is determined that level mean scores 1st 5th minutes after procedure are lower group than (p
Objective: To investigate the incidence of perinatal features and neonatal morbidities in migrant mothers comparison with native Turkish mothers.Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted using medical records 89 infants born to Syrian immigrants who were consecutively admitted intensive care unit our hospital between 2015 2019.Statistical analyses used compare demographic data outcomes two groups.Results: Compared mothers, significantly younger adolescent pregnancy rate higher...
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy. The genetic basis CHI includes a variety defects key genes regulating insulin secretion. Mutations at least seven are found 50% cases. forms medically unresponsive CHI, which requires near-total pancreatectomy associated with autosomal recessive mutations ABCC8 and KCNJ11 encoding two subunits pancreatic β-cell ATP-sensitive potassium channel. We report neonate have novel homozygous splicing...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious morbidity in premature neonates. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence AKI and evaluate its impact on mortality very infants.: This retrospective cohort conducted neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). A total 410 preterm infants who were born before 32 gestational weeks screened 318 included analysis. defined according modified Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria.The 32.1% (102/318). Regression analyses revealed that lower...
Aim: Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a serious condition in neonates and associated with neuromuscular dysfunction death. In this study, we aimed to investigate potential risk factors for neonatal HIE.Methods: A retrospective case–control study was conducted on infants admitted our intensive care unit between 2015 2020. Infants born at ≥36 weeks of gestation diagnosed HIE were included the case group. For each case, 4 gestational agematched without selected control The groups...

Background/Aim: Antenatal magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) treatment is widely used for fetal neuroprotection in women at risk of preterm delivery. Possible adverse effects MgSO4 include respiratory depression and delay closure ductus arteriosus by antagonism calcium channels. The aim this study was to investigate the antenatal exposure on cardiorespiratory complications during early neonatal period premature infants. Methods: A retrospective cohort performed 340 infants born between 23 32 weeks...
To identify the incidence of and risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates with persistent pulmonary hypertension newborn (PPHN) to evaluate its association neonatal outcomes.A total 78 newborns confirmed PPHN admitted intensive care unit a university hospital between 2016 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. AKI was defined according modified Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria.Of infants, found 29.5% (23/78). Multivariate analysis indicated that male sex (OR 3.43...
