Problems with definitions and classifications of newborn encephalopathy
Alan Leviton,Karin B. Nelson +1 more
TL;DR: Qualitative and quantitative grading schemes are described in this review and some of their potentially correctable limitations are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated blood levels of inflammation-related proteins are associated with an attention problem at age 24 mo in extremely preterm infants
T. Michael O'Shea,Robert M. Joseph,Karl C.K. Kuban,Elizabeth N. Allred,Janice Ware,Taryn Coster,Raina N. Fichorova,Olaf Dammann,Olaf Dammann,Alan Leviton +9 more
TL;DR: Among children born extremely prematurely, recurrent, or persistent elevations of inflammation-related proteins in blood during in the first two postnatal weeks are associated with an attention problem at age 2 y.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship Between Neonatal Blood Protein Concentrations and Placenta Histologic Characteristics in Extremely Low GA Newborns.
Jonathan L. Hecht,Raina N. Fichorova,Vanessa Tang,Elizabeth N. Allred,Thomas F. McElrath,Alan Leviton +5 more
TL;DR: The results confirm the predictive value of placental histology for the presence or absence of elevated inflammatory response in newborns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic lung disease and developmental delay at 2 years of age in children born before 28 weeks' gestation
Matthew M. Laughon,Michael T. O'Shea,Elizabeth N. Allred,Carl L. Bose,Karl C.K. Kuban,Linda J. Van Marter,Richard A. Ehrenkranz,Alan Leviton +7 more
TL;DR: Risk factors for CLD account for the association between CLD and developmental delay among children without severe gross motor delays and, once those factors are considered in time-oriented risk models, CLD does not seem to increase the risk of either a low MDI or a low PDI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammation-related proteins in the blood of extremely low gestational age newborns. The contribution of inflammation to the appearance of developmental regulation.
Alan Leviton,Raina N. Fichorova,Yoshika Yamamoto,Elizabeth N. Allred,Olaf Dammann,Jonathan L. Hecht,Karl C.K. Kuban,Thomas F. McElrath,T. Michael O'Shea,Nigel Paneth +9 more
TL;DR: Regardless of whether or not the placenta is inflamed, the concentrations of inflammation-related proteins in early blood specimens appear to be developmentally regulated with the most common pattern being a decrease with increasing gestational age.
