Abstract Background Prediction of neonatal deaths in NICUs is important for benchmarking and evaluating healthcare services NICUs. Application machine learning techniques can improve physicians’ ability to predict the deaths. The aim this study was present a death risk prediction model using techniques. Methods This conducted Tehran, Iran two phases. Initially, factors were identified then several models including Artificial Neural Network (ANN), decision tree (Random Forest (RF), C5.0 CHART...
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most common nutritional problems in world, especially developing countries. Infants aged between 4 and 24 months are among population groups that affected by iron (ID). The aim this study was to investigate prevalence ID IDA infants 12-15 months, living Ahwaz, southwest Iran.One hundred twenty-six participated study. mean corpuscular volume hemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin hematocrit levels were measured. Anemia defined when Hb < 11 g/dL 12...
Abstract Background Previous studies have indicated that the majority of cases with “failed” results related to transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (OAE) test normal hearing. The present study aimed assess possible relationships between perinatal factors and false-positive OAE results. Methods A case-control was carried out in an Iranian Hospital 2020. Based on first day life, newborns were divided into 2 groups; Control group included subjects “Pass” Every neonate “Fail” result referred...
Abstract Background Although the use of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) has many advantages for treatment neonates, malposition may result in serious complications that could be life-threatening. We report case 10-day-old neonate with cardiac tamponade secondary to PICC line who was successfully treated by pericardiocentesis. Case presentation An Iranian (Asian) preterm male born Cesarean section birth weight 1190 g and first-minute Apgar score 7. Based on an increased...
Abstract Objective Extravasation of infused drugs is not a rare problem in medical practice. Acyclovir vesicant and an antiviral medication commonly used for young children. In the present study, we presented neonate with soft tissue damage due to acyclovir extravasation. Case report A female newborn (Iranian, Asian) gestational age 37 +2 weeks breech presentation was born by Cesarean delivery from mother recent history Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection (Yas Women’s Hospital, Tehran,...
Background: Different automated systems have been developed to improve the maintenance of target range arterial oxygen saturation (SPO2) in premature infants with respiratory distress. Objectives: This study aimed develop a remote closed-loop automatic control (RCLAC) as an efficient monitoring device. Then means fraction inspired (FIO2) and SPO2 by routine manual (RMC) RCLAC were compared. Methods: A developmental-descriptive was carried out Iranian hospital (Tehran, Iran; 2015 - 2017)....
Background: Parents of preterm neonates are exposed to great stress that can lead posttraumatic disorder. The current study aimed assess the incidence disorders (PTSD) in both mothers and fathers infants.Methods: A prospective cohort was done at two Iranian hospitals 2016. One hundred sixty parents entered study. questionnaire related acute disorder (ASD) completed for days 3-5 after birth. month later, were asked second interview. Prenatal (PPQ) checklist (PCL) completed. Prevalence PTSD...
Early prediction of neonates' survival and Length Stay (LOS) in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) is effective decision-making. We developed an intelligent system to predict neonatal LOS using the "Case-Based Reasoning" (CBR) method. a web-based CBR based on K-Nearest Neighborhood (KNN) 1682 neonates 17 variables for mortality 13 evaluated with 336 retrospectively collected data. implemented NICU externally validate evaluate acceptability usability. Our internal validation balanced case...
Background: Parents of preterm neonates are exposed to stress leading post traumatic disorders (PTSD). Objectives: In the present study we compared prevalence PTSD in parents hospitalized and term neonates. Methods: A descriptive-comparative was undertaken 2 Iranian Hospitals during 2016 2017. NICU as well those newborns entered study. were invited for interview at day 3 - 5 after neonate's birth. Questionnaires acute disorder (ASD) filled out scored both mother father. After a month, asked...
Background Lead as a toxic heavy metal can readily transfer through the placenta; this condition may increase risk of lead toxicity for developing fetus. Therefore, we undertook study to evaluate association between umbilical cord blood levels and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) occurrence.Methods A cross-sectional was done at an academic hospital (Tehran, Iran, 2017). The population term IUGR complicated neonates. Immediately after birth, 3-ml collected in some tubes sent laboratory...

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread worldwide, causing a significant public health disaster. Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical features and laboratory data of neonates born mothers with COVID-19. Methods: A retrospective multicenter cohort was conducted from March 20 September 5, 2020, on all positive real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction for SARS-CoV-2 or...
Mutations in TSC1 or TSC2 genes have been proposed as the main causative factors responsible for developing Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). Given effect of these two on mTOR pathway, rapamycin has emerged a novel therapeutic agent. The present study evaluated effectiveness and safety multiple manifestations TSC.Twenty-three eligible children were enrolled cross-sectional study. They prescribed 1mg tablet twice daily first weeks treatment then once at least one year. Periodic evaluations...
Introduction: One of the most preferred cutdown access sites in neonates is femoral vein; however, medical staff should be aware associated complications. In this study, we present a case where displacement catheter tip after vein resulted scrotal hematoma. Case Presentation: A neonate with gestational age 39 weeks and birth weight 3740 grams was born an academic hospital Tehran, Iran, 2022. The newborn gradually showed symptoms respiratory distress immediately transferred to neonatal...
Background: Pregnancy among women infected with HIV is classified as a high-risk pregnancy. While previous research has indicated an elevated likelihood of preterm birth, low birth weight, and early gestational age in infants born to mothers HIV, the correlation between maternal infection different neonatal results remains unclear. Objective: This study aims investigate impact on after-birth outcomes using machine learning (ML) statistical methods. Methods: A case-control conducted through...
Background: Zinc (Zn) is one of the trace elements in body that, despite its low level, plays important roles molecular and cellular activities. A few investigations have assessed correlations between cord blood Zn levels neonatal anthropometric measures; however, results are conflicting. Objectives: The purpose present study was to investigate relationships level umbilical birth weight, height, head circumference term newborns.
