Intrauterine Detection of Ureaplasma Species after Vaginal Colonization in Pregnancy and Neonatal Outcome
CONCLUSION: Ascending U.spp. infection after previous vaginal colonization occurred in almost one-third of pregnancies delivering ≤32 weeks, with particularly high rates in those <28 weeks, and was associated with adverse outcome of preterm infants.PMID:38052191 | DOI:10.1159/000534779 (Source: Neonatology)

Relationship between Brain Function and Microstructural Brain Maturation in Preterm Infants
CONCLUSION: This study indicates that early monitoring of functional brain maturation may predict later assessment of microstructural brain development of corpus callosum in preterm infants with a relation to neurodevelopmental outcome.PMID:38052194 | DOI:10.1159/000535042 (Source: Neonatology)

Total Hydrocortisone Dosage in the Neonatal Period May Be Related to Low Developmental Quotient in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants: A Retrospective Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: Higher total HDC dosage up to 36 weeks postmenstrual age in ELBW infants was associated with impaired neurodevelopmental outcomes. Although HDC is often needed in the treatment of ELBW infants, clinicians should be aware that an increased dose of HDC may be associated with impaired neurodevelopmental outcomes.PMID:38043512 | DOI:10.1159/000534934 (Source: Neonatology)

Neurodevelopmental Outcomes Prediction in Newborns with Seizures Caused by KCNQ2 Gene Defects
CONCLUSION: In our study, functional/structural features and variant pathogenicity have higher feature importance compared with clinical information. This prediction model for the neurodevelopmental outcomes of newborns with seizures caused by KCNQ2 gene defects is a promising alternative that could prove to be valuable in clinical practice.PMID:38043515 | DOI:10.1159/000534605 (Source: Neonatology)
