... without major morbidity. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Results: 2,111 twin pairs were included. Male infants exhibited worse outcomes than females (IRR; 95% CI) regarding survival (0.96; 0.94, 0.98), survival without moderate or severe BPD (0.89; 0.86, 0.93...

...-birth-weight (VLBW) female infants. It has been suggested that recent advances in perinatal care might have benefited boys relatively more than girls, making differences disappear. Objectives: The aims of the study were (1) to determine if sex differences in survival and survival without morbidity...

...Melissa Lorenzo; Megan Laupacis; Wilma M. Hopman; Imtiaz Ahmad; Faiza Khurshid Introduction: Late preterm infants (LPIs) are infants born between 34 0/7 and 36 6/7 weeks gestation. Morbidities in these infants are commonly considered a result of prematurity; however, some research has suggested...

... population for morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period. Variability in practices and outcomes between centers has been acknowledged. Multicenter benchmarking studies are useful to detect areas of improvement and constitute an interesting research tool. Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine...

.... Objectives: We aimed to identify the association between mortality or a composite mortality/major morbidity outcome in preterm infants with 1-min, 5-min, and sum 1 + 5-min Apgar scores. Methods: Seven-year retrospective data was analysed on neonates born <32 weeks gestation in a regional neonatal centre...

Methods: We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, PREMEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science and the Oxford Database of Perinatal Trials, ongoing trials and conference...

... and that the neonatal data were collected prospectively in a standardised format. In conclusion, this study showed that EnCPAP was beneficial to VLBW neonates in Malaysia, reducing both mortality and pulmonary morbidities. Inadequate CPAP facilities in delivery suites and the absence of a unit policy for EnCPAP...
