Stability of neurodevelopmental trajectories in moderately late and early preterm children born 15 years apart
CONCLUSION: Developmental trajectories, measured using the D-score, in the first four years of life are comparable and stable across a period of 15 years for both early and moderately late preterm children.IMPACT: Neurodevelopmental trajectories are similar for early and moderately late preterm children born 15 years apart and thus seem quite stable in time. The validated Developmental score visualizes these trajectories based on developmental milestone attainment Because of its stability over time, the Developmental score trajectory may aid clinicians in neurodevelopmental assessment of preterm children as this simplifies...

Umbilical cord blood culture for early onset sepsis in preterm infants
CONCLUSIONS: UCBC effectively detected EOS establishing it as a method with possibly better diagnostic performance than NBC in high-risk neonates. Further studies are needed to improve UCBC technique and lower contamination rates.IMPACT: Umbilical cord blood culture has a higher bacterial identification rate than peripheral venous blood culture for the early identification of early-onset sepsis in preterm infants. Umbilical cord blood cultures that showed no growth were reliable predictors of not developing early onset sepsis. Umbilical cord blood culture should be considered as part of the evaluation for early onset sepsi...

Developmental characteristics and accuracy of autism screening among two-year-old toddlers in the ECHO program
CONCLUSION: The M-CHAT-H accurately detects children at low risk for autism and children at increased risk with moderate accuracy. These findings support use of the M-CHAT-H in assessing autism risk and developmental and behavioral concerns in children.IMPACT: Previous literature regarding accuracy of the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) is mixed but this study provides evidence that the M-CHAT performs well in detecting children at low risk for autism and consistently detects children with developmental delays and behavioral problems. The M-CHAT moderately detects children at increased risk for autism an...

Risk of childhood neoplasms related to neonatal phototherapy- a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Children with a history of neonatal phototherapy had increased risk of hematopoietic cancer and solid tumors. The evidence quality was limited due to the high risk of bias and potential residual confounding.IMPACT STATEMENT: Exposure to neonatal phototherapy increased later risk of hematopoietic cancer and solid tumors. This is the most comprehensive study on the association between phototherapy and cancer, but the evidence quality was limited due risk of bias and residual confounding. Future large scale well conducted studies are still needed to better estimate the association and.PMID:38615073 | DOI:10.1038/...

Biventricular function in preterm infants with patent ductus arteriosus ligation: A three-dimensional echocardiographic study
CONCLUSIONS: PDA induces biventricular loading and functional abnormalities in preterm infants, and they dramatically change after surgery. Three-dimensional echocardiography may be beneficial to understand the status of both ventricles.IMPACT: Preterm infants are at high risk of hemodynamic compromise following a sudden change in loading conditions after PDA ligation. Three-dimensional echocardiography enables quantitative and serial evaluation of ventricular function and volume in preterm infants with PDA. PDA induces biventricular loading and functional abnormalities in preterm infants, and they dramatically change afte...
