The aim of our population-based study was to compare the mortality and morbidity late-preterm infants those born at term. Advancement in care extremely preterm has led a shift focus away from more mature preterms, who are being managed as "near terms" treated normal." Some recent studies have suggested an increased risk this group compared with However, there few statistics for cohort, particularly reflecting current practice.Using data British Columbia Perinatal Database Registry we...
OBJECTIVE. Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) is the most frequent cause of late-onset sepsis in NICUs, but mortality rare and morbidity unusual. We report a new syndrome CoNS characterized by significant persistent bacteremia despite aggressive antibiotic therapy no identified focus infection. METHODS. conducted retrospective review infants NICU with between 2000 2002. Statistical analysis included an initial exploratory followed logistic regression. Microbiological identification all...
Background: Extrauterine growth retardation is a major clinical problem in very‐low‐birth‐weight infants. Parenteral nutrition (PN) serves to achieve rapid maximal early postnatal life. There lack of uniformity with regard neonatal PN practice. The objective this study ascertain current practice regarding prescription the period United Kingdom. Methods: A questionnaire was e‐mailed pharmacists serving level 3 and 2 units Kingdom between October 2005 March 2006. Static numerical information...
The association between red blood cell (RBC) transfusions and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), so-called transfusion-associated NEC (ta-NEC), was first described in 1987. However, further work is needed to confirm a causal relationship, elucidate underlying mechanisms, develop possible strategies for prevention. We performed an extensive literature search the databases PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus.Although multiple retrospective human studies have strongly suggested subsequent occurrence of NEC,...

<h3>Background:</h3> Premature infants are vulnerable to complications related oxidative stress. Exposure light increases oxidation products in solutions of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) such as lipid peroxides and hydrogen peroxide. Oxidative stress impairs glucose uptake affects metabolism. Hypothesis: photo-oxidation contaminating TPN affect <h3>Objective:</h3> Evaluate the effect photoprotection preterm on plasma triglyceride (TG) concentrations. <h3>Design:</h3> Secondary analysis a...
The multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus capitis clone, NRCS-A, is increasingly associated with late-onset sepsis in low birthweight newborns neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) England and globally. Understanding where this bacterium survives persists within the NICU environment key to developing implementing effective control measures.To investigate potential for S. colonize surfaces NICUs.Surface swabs were collected from four NICUs without known NRCS-A colonizations/infections present at...
