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...
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...
Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the efficiency a new method called "finger feeding" with well-known technique syringe feeding for improving sucking skills and accelerating transition breastfeeding in preterm infants. Materials Methods: Totally 70 babies were included prospective randomized controlled study. Finger was applied Group 1 (n = 35) 2 35). COMFORTneo scale (CnS), oxygen saturation, pulse, respiratory rate, body temperature, amount breast milk taken, vomiting data recorded...
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%...
Aim: To assess the efficiency of oral desmopressin lyophilisate (ODL) in neonatal central diabetes insipidus (CDI).
Endotracheal intubation is a frequent procedure performed in neonates with respiratory distress. Clinicians use different methods to estimate the insertion depth, but, unfortunately, improper results are very high. In this study, we aimed compare two (Tochen's formula = weight kilograms + 6 cm; and nasal septum-tragus length [NTL] 1 cm) used determine endotracheal tube (ETT) depth.Infants who had indications were enrolled study. The was fixed using Tochen (Tochen group) or NTL cm (NTL...
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...
Administration of an exogenous surfactant may affect both ventilatory and hemodynamic parameters in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Peripheral perfusion be expected to influenced, serial index (PI) values show this effect. Noninvasive transcutaneous carbon monoxide (TCO) monitoring RDS severity, oxidative inflammatory stress, response treatment.This randomized controlled nonblinded study was performed 30 RDS, treated poractant alfa (n = 15) or beractant 15); 18...
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder resulting from the defective activity of branched-chain 2-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex. Routine screening newborn with tandem mass spectroscopy on third day life may detect elevated amino acids in blood before appearance encephalopathic symptoms MSUD cases. If undiagnosed by such routine test, patients often present encephalopathy and seizures. Clinical neurologic examination supplemented electroencephalography...
Background: In countries where pertussis vaccination is not administered during pregnancy, the determination of antibody levels in pregnant women very important terms knowing current seroepidemiology and potential strategies for immunizations. Methods: We included 396 who were admitted to 4 different obstetrics gynecology clinics. Anti-Bordetella toxin (PT) IgG anti-Bordetella filamentous hemagglutinin maternal cord blood pairs determined by ELISA method. Results: Venous serum anti-PT level...
Aim: According to delivery room guidelines, an optimal position is not specified for the stabilization of baby.This study aimed define positions effects on postnatal adaptation parameters and cerebral oxygenation in non-resuscitated neonates.Materials Methods: A total 60 neonates delivered by cesarean section stabilized randomly supine, right-side, left-side, or prone were enrolled.Apgar scores, heart rates (HR), arterial oxygen saturations via pulse oximetry, perfusion indexes (PI) at 2 nd...
ABS TRACTAim: In the present study, relationship between neonatal morbidity and cord vitamin D levels is investigated.Materials Methods: Premature infants who were born before 32 weeks of gestation admitted to our intensive care unit January 2014 2015 included in study.Vitamin blood measured.Serum calcium, phosphorus alkaline phosphatase recorded first 24 hours.All neonates followed up for morbidities until discharge.Results: The mean gestational age study subjects was 29.2±2.6 (23-32).The...
Abstract Background The increasing prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections among children represents a significant global concern, leading to elevated mortality rates. aim this study was evaluate the risk factors, outcomes, 30-day rates and contributing factors in with CRE bloodstream (CRE-BSIs). Methods Data regarding demographic characteristics, treatment approaches outcomes hospitalized aged 0–18 years diagnosed CRE-BSIs between January 2018 December 2022...
Geographical distribution, ethnicity, and other socioeconomic factors may affect anthropometric measurements, for that reason each society should determine their own measurements accounting those factors. In this study, we aimed to the of healthy late preterm term infants compare results with national international studies. Materials methods: This sectional study was carried out among 1197 born a gestational age ≥35 weeks. Chest circumference, ear length, foot palmar middle finger philtrum...
Abstract Primary cardiac tumor is uncommon in childhood, with an incidence of 0.06–0.32%, and intrapericardial teratoma represents exceptional rarity among these entities. Germ cell tumors (GCT) are rare, representing only 1–3% childhood tumors. Twenty per cent GCT malignant associated age location. Extragonadal involvement accounts for nearly half the cases. Anterior mediastinum a common location germ tumors, yet pericardial aortic adventitia have been rarely reported. Here we report case...

Abstract Non‐ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of glycine metabolism. We report newborn case NKH and discuss the effects this disease on brain metabolism structure together with amplitude‐integrated electroencephalography, cranial magnetic resonance spectroscopy findings which are very rarely reported so far.
Perinatal, foetal and neonatal mortality statistics are important to show the development of a health care system in country.
