Owing to advances in the critical care of premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), BPD-associated pulmonary hypertension (PH) is becoming a growing concern. However, only few investigations were available on neurodevelopmental outcomes preterm PH. Therefore, this study aimed identify impact PH growth and neurodevelopment at 18-24 months corrected age (CA).We retrospectively analyzed medical records 394 (aged < 28 weeks gestation) admitted neonatal intensive unit between 2005...
Abstract Background Several studies have suggested that adverse neurodevelopment could be induced by systemic inflammation in preterm infants. We aimed to investigate whether infants with would impaired and which biomarkers neurophysiologic during are associated poor neurodevelopment. Methods This prospective cohort study enrolled born before 30 weeks of gestation or birth weight < 1250 g. Infants were grouped according the presence inflammation: Control (no inflammation, n = 49), I...
Little is known about the transgenerational effects of maternal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on offspring kidney health. This study investigated effect administration PM2.5 or with vitamin D during pregnancy and lactation renal injury in rat dams their offspring.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)-associated pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a well-known complication of prematurity; however, the additional impact left-to-right interatrial shunt on this condition remains poorly understood. The aim present study was to identify significance atrial lesions in PH infants with moderate or severe BPD.The medical records 383 preterm (gestational age < 32 weeks) who were diagnosed BPD between 2005 and 2013 retrospectively reviewed. Baseline characteristics such...
Growth charts are important tools used to evaluate the growth status of children and estimate nutritional health general population. In Korea, national standardized were updated in 2017. However, developed by World Health Organization (WHO) being adopted for under 3 years age despite a lack evidence their applicability Koreans. Here we aimed collect accurate physical measurement data, develop infants toddlers based on breastfeeding, feasibility adopting WHO standards as reference Korea....
A comprehensive survey of congenital heart disease (CHD) prevalence has not yet been conducted in South Korea. This study aimed to investigate the CHDs Korean children and lay foundation for national CHD epidemiology.
Owing to advances in critical care treatment, the overall survival rate of preterm infants born at a gestational age (GA) <32 weeks has consistently improved. However, incidence severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) persisted, and there are few reports on in-hospital morbidity mortality. Therefore, aim present study was investigate trends surrounding mortality with IVH over 14-year period.This single-center retrospective included 620 GA weeks, admitted between January 2007 December 2020....
Abstract Background Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) has recently been used in preterm infants with respiratory distress as an alternative to nasal continuous (nCPAP) because, theoretically, BiPAP is thought be more effective than nCPAP. However, the results of some studies comparing nCPAP initial support were controversial. The aim this study compare clinical effectiveness and safety at gestational ages 30 +0 34 +6 weeks. Methods A total 93 weeks, who presented within 24 h after...
Humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) has gained popularity because it is easier to use, more comfortable for babies, and advantageous mother-infant bonding. HHFNC not inferior other non-invasive ventilators preventing adverse outcomes, but studies are needed ensure the safe use of as an initial respiratory support newborns. The aim this study was investigate risk factors treatment failure in newborns with distress after birth.We included 97 who required within 24 h birth. success group...
This study aims to evaluate the perinatal outcomes of preterm premature rupture membrane (PPROM) with latency periods at 33 + 0–36 6 weeks gestation. retrospective case-control included women singleton pregnancies who delivered Korea University Ansan Hospital in South between 2006–2019. The maternal and neonatal characteristics were compared different (expectant delivery ≥72 h vs. immediate <72 h). Data among 345 (expectant, n = 39; delivery, 306). There was no significant difference...
Abstract Background Although many controversies exist regarding the risk of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, half preterm infants born at <32 weeks gestational age receive such transfusions because anemia prematurity. Because costs and risks associated with multiple it has been suggested that a large transfusion volume reduces number transfusions. However, there have persistent concerns RBC might lead to overload. Methods We examined impacts (20 mL/kg) compared standard (15 on...
Purpose:We aimed to evaluate the effect of admission hypothermia on neonatal outcomes in very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs).Methods: Medical records 153 preterm infants, with weights <1,500 g and gestational ages <32 weeks, were retrospectively reviewed.The clinical characteristics who experienced moderate during first hour life (Group I) compared those mild hypother mia or normothermia II).Results: Fifty after birth.Group I had lower than Group II (867.8±304.4g vs. 1,140.3±247.5 g,...
Although the benefits of breastfeeding are broadly acknowledged with efforts government and several medical societies, rate exclusive through 6 months is lower in Korea than developed countries.This study aimed to investigate pediatricians' perceptions barriers current counseling environment propose policies encourage Korea.Fourteen survey questions were during meetings Korean Society Breastfeeding Medicine experts. The Pediatric emailed a structured questionnaire domestic pediatricians...
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is the leading cause of neonatal respiratory morbidity and mortality. Advancements in care, along with extended insurance coverage, have resulted increased utilization surfactant replacement therapy (SRT) for RDS. This has contributed to a decrease The primary mode support infants RDS dramatically changed over last decades, transitioning from invasive noninvasive support. Therefore, less emerged as widely adopted approach SRT, establishing itself standard...
Background: Nearly half of congenital heart defects (CHDs) related mortality occur during infancy although advancement in treatments have increased the survival rates. This study comprehensively examines overall and surgical CHD infants with highest an effort to improve our understanding epidemiology. Methods: Participants were drawn from a dataset 1,964,691 born between 2014 2018 Korea. Target patients defined as those crucial CHDs including classical critical diverse categorical but...
Objective: Early onset neonatal hypocalcemia (ENH) occurs within 72 hours after birth and screening is recommended for high-risk infants. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors predictive of ENH evaluate effectiveness intervention in moderate-to-late preterm infants. Methods: was a retrospective study, examining infants at 32-36 weeks gestational age. Perinatal were compared between with without hypocalcemia. Related further analyzed validity ENH. The effect by comparing changes serum...
Background: Human breast milk is essential and provides irreplaceable nutrients for early humans.However, breastfeeding not easy various reasons in medical institution environments.Therefore, order to improve the environment, we investigated difficult reality of through questionnaire responses from workers.Methods: A survey was conducted among 179 workers with experience childbirth within last five years.The results 175 people were analyzed, incoherent answers excluded.Results: Of surveyed,...
Objectives Advanced clinical management has increased the survival rate of premature infants. Mothers infants have more concerns about their infant's health, which may impair sleep quality. This study aimed to investigate quality Korean mothers after neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge. Methods Face-to-face interviews were conducted for 90 corrected aged 0–12 months who born at <37 weeks gestation and had been discharged from NICU. The questionnaire consisted general background...
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a major gastrointestinal disorder in premature infants associated with high morbidity and mortality rates.When NEC clinically suspected, radiological laboratory studies should be performed to confirm the diagnosis aid management of patients.As clinical manifestations are usually nonspecific, diagnoses often made using abdominal radiographic findings, such as pneumatosis intestinalis.Clinicians typically consider presence intestinalis on radiographs definite...
