Mashup Score: 7Racial discrepancy in pulse oximeter accuracy in preterm infants - Journal of Perinatology - 2 year(s) ago
Pulse oximetry is commonly used in Neonatology, however recent adult data suggest racial disparity in accuracy, with overestimation of oxygen saturation for Black patients. Black and White infants <32 weeks gestation underwent simultaneous arterial blood gas and pulse oximetry measurement. Error by race was examined using mean bias, Arms, Bland–Altman, and linear/non-linear analysis. A total of...

Mashup Score: 27Association between anti-seizure medication and outcomes in infants - Journal of Perinatology - 3 year(s) ago
To compare treatment failure between: (1) infants treated with phenobarbital versus levetiracetam for first-line treatment and (2) infants treated with phenytoin versus levetiracetam for second-line treatment following phenobarbital. This retrospective cohort study included infants with seizures receiving phenobarbital or levetiracetam as the initial anti-seizure medication. Treatment failure was…

Mashup Score: 11Percent mother’s own milk feedings for preterm neonates predicts discharge feeding outcomes - Journal of Perinatology - 3 year(s) ago
No studies have determined if there is a threshold whereby use of mother’s own milk (MOM) during hospitalization predicts exclusive MOM feeding at discharge. Among 113 very low birthweight neonates, the ratio of MOM to enteral feeds was measured in the first 14 days, 28 days, and overall hospital stay. The primary outcome was exclusive MOM feeding at discharge. For every 1% increase in MOM…

Mashup Score: 4Maternal perceived stress and the increased risk of preterm birth in a majority non-Hispanic Black pregnancy cohort - Journal of Perinatology - 3 year(s) ago
To determine whether perceived stress is associated with preterm birth (PTB) and to investigate racial differences in stress and PTB. A secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study of 1911 women with singleton pregnancies examined responses to psychosocial stress questionnaires at 16–20 weeks of gestation. High perceived stress (19%) and PTB (10.8%) were prevalent in our sample (62%…

Mashup Score: 4
The decision to pursue chronic mechanical ventilation involves a complex mix of clinical and social considerations. Understanding the medical indications to pursue tracheostomy would reduce the ambiguity for both providers and families and facilitate focus on appropriate clinical goals. To describe potential indications to pursue tracheostomy and chronic mechanical ventilation in infants with…

Mashup Score: 5
Near-infrared spectroscopy measures cerebral saturation (Csat), although correlation with cerebral blood flow remains unclear in premature newborns at risk for intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Compare Doppler markers of anterior cerebral artery (ACA) flow with Csat obtained during head ultrasound (HUS). Newborns <29 weeks (2013–2017) underwent Csat monitoring with clinical acquisition of HUS....

Mashup Score: 5
We examined whether erythropoietin monotherapy improves neurodevelopmental outcomes in near-term and term infants with neonatal encephalopathy (NE) in low-middle income countries (LMICs). We searched Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science databases to identify studies that used erythropoietin (1500–12,500 units/kg/dose) or a derivative to treat NE. Five studies, with a total of 348 infants in LMICs,…

Mashup Score: 3A novel and accurate method for estimating umbilical arterial and venous catheter insertion length - 3 year(s) ago
To develop a novel, rapid, and more accurate model for estimating umbilical arterial (UAC) and venous catheter (UVC) insertion length. We evaluated UACs and UVCs from a retrospective cohort to determine the rate of correct initial positioning based on conventional birth weight-based equations utilized in our neonatal intensive care unit. We then derived new equations, developed the mobile…

Evaluate racial/ethnic differences in maternal resilience and its associations with low birthweight (LBW). Retrospective cohort study of 3244 women surveyed in the Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. The Add Health Resilience Instrument assessed resilience. Logistic regression models explored associations between women’s resilience and risk of LBW. Resilience scores were lowest in…
