Language delays are often underestimated in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) preterm infants. We aimed to identify the risk factors of language delay at two years corrected age this vulnerable population. VLBW infants, who were assessed using Bayley Scale Infant Development, third edition, included a population-based cohort database. was defined as mild moderate if composite score between 70 and 85 severe < 70. Multivariable logistic regression analysis used perinatal associated with delay....
Purpose: To assess the predictive validity of Bayley Scales Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III) cognitive scores at 6 months corrected age (CA) for outcomes 24 CA in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants investigate predictors change outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated VLBW children enrolled Taiwan Premature Follow-up Network between 2010 2015 completed Bayley-III months. The performance 6-month 24-month was analyzed. positive negative factors were also...
Nationwide group B Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) antepartum screening was instituted in Taiwan 2012. The impact of the policy on early-onset sepsis (EOS) has not been evaluated. This study aimed to examine incidence neonatal EOS.This a retrospective conducted at MacKay Children's Hospital. Patients with culture-proven EOS were enrolled and divided by birth year relation implementation GBS prevention policy: Epoch 1, 2001-2004 pre-GBS screening; 2, 2005-2011 elective 3, 2012-2018 universal...
Tracheostomy is a valuable procedure in infants and neonates with chronic respiratory failure or severe airway obstruction. The aim of this study to identify the indication, hospital course, long-term outcome cohort who required tracheostomy neonatal pediatric tertiary care center northern Taiwan.Medical records infants, underwent between January 2002 December 2013, were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics, indication for tracheostomy, discharge disposition, further hospitalization...
The extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) of very preterm infants has been associated with long-term complications and neurodevelopmental problems. EUGR reported at higher rates in low resource settings. There is limited research investigating how metropolitan human milk banks contribute to the outcomes cared rural areas. setting this study located a county Taiwan affiliated Southern Human Milk Bank. Donor was provided through novel supplemental system. A renewal nutritional protocol...
This study aimed to explore whether microRNAs (miRNAs) could serve as biomarkers of perinatal asphyxia and they were correlated with severity brain magnetic resonance imaging.
Background: Minimizing multiple organ dysfunction-related mortality and morbidity is a critical issue for patients with hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) receiving therapeutic hypothermia (TH). Although erythropoietin (EPO) has demonstrated protective effects on various organs in animal studies clinical trials adults, its neonates HIE require further investigation. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the medical records of who received TH or without EPO (TH+EPO vs groups)...
To assess whether the number of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants treated annually in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) Taiwan affects mortality and morbidity this patient population.This retrospective cohort study included preterm with ELBW (≤1000 g). NICUs were divided into three subgroups according to annual admissions (low, ≤10; medium, 11-25; high, >25). Perinatal characteristics, mortality, short-term morbidities compared between groups.A total 1945 from 17 analyzed...
