The high precision of hs-cTnT assays...

... population study that performed cardiac evaluation in newborns. Electrocardiograms were analyzed with a computerized algorithm. Results: We included 16,518 newborns with normal echocardiograms (median age 11 days; range 0–30 days; 52% boys). Median maternal age at delivery was 31 years; 790 newborns were...

Eighty-eight healthy newborns were the result of normal pregnancies with no prenatal or perinatal complications. The concentrations of urinary NGAL and KIM-1 were determined with a commercially available ELISA...

Hummler Background: The so-called Thompson-score (TS) for newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) was developed before the introduction of controlled hypothermia as clinical routine. Information...
