Mortality Risk in US Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Infants by Birth Size Classifications Comparing Three Growth Curves
CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences across curve sets in predicting mortality. Classification of size at birth is a relatively imprecise method to identify infants at risk for NICU mortality.PMID:38621373 | DOI:10.1159/000536180 (Source: Neonatology)

LISA Eligibility and LISA Success in Extremely Preterm Infants: A Single-Center Experience
CONCLUSION: Our report justifies LISA as a mode for surfactant application in preterm infants. It contributes to the call for studies to define risk factors for LISA failure.PMID:38599191 | DOI:10.1159/000537904 (Source: Neonatology)

Proactive Diagnosis and Tailor-Made Treatment of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Very Preterm Infants with Routine Echocardiography in Japan: A post hoc Analysis of the PLASE Study
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical management of PDA in Japan featured (1) COX-I administration based on echocardiographic findings before symptomatic or hemodynamically significant PDA appeared and (2) frequent discontinuation of therapeutic COX-I before completing the standard three doses course.PMID:38593757 | DOI:10.1159/000538363 (Source: Neonatology)

Coupling between Regional Oxygen Saturation of the Brain and Vital Signs during Immediate Transition after Birth
DISCUSSION: Besides SpO2, also HR demonstrated a nonlinear correlation with rScO2 and cFTOE in term and preterm neonates during immediate transition after birth. In addition, the coupling of SpO2 and HR with cerebral oxygenation was more pronounced in neonates with a lower gestational age.PMID:38588640 | DOI:10.1159/000534524 (Source: Neonatology)

Long-Term Growth and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of Neonates Infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 Pandemic at 18-24 Months Corrected Age: A Prospective Observational Study
CONCLUSION: Neonates infected with SARS-CoV-2 have an increased risk of developmental delays in expressive language, fine motor, and receptive language skills at 18-24 months of age. The severity of delays is predominantly mild.PMID:38583433 | DOI:10.1159/000537803 (Source: Neonatology)

Computer Vision for Identification of Increased Fetal Heart Variability in Cardiotocogram
CONCLUSIONS: Computer vision analysis by SALKA is a novel ML technique that, with high sensitivity and specificity, identifies IFHRV features in intrapartum cardiotocograms. SALKA recognizes potential early signs of fetal distress close to those of expert obstetricians, particularly in cases of neonatal acidemia.PMID:38565092 | DOI:10.1159/000538134 (Source: Neonatology)
