Journal ArticleDOI

Association between peak serum bilirubin and neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely low birth weight infants

TL;DR: PSB concentrations during the first 2 weeks of life are directly correlated with death or NDI, hearing impairment, and PDI <70 in ELBW infants, and a randomized, controlled trial of aggressive and conservative phototherapy is needed to address this controversial issue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevention of nosocomial infections in the neonatal intensive care unit

TL;DR: Effective strategies to prevent nosocomial infection must include continuous monitoring and surveillance of infection rates and distribution of pathogens; strategic nursery design and staffing; emphasis on handwashing compliance; minimizing central venous catheter use and contamination, and prudent use of antimicrobial agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adverse Neonatal Outcomes Associated With Antenatal Dexamethasone Versus Antenatal Betamethasone

TL;DR: Betamethasone was associated with a reduced risk for neonatal death, with trends of decreased risk for other adverse neonatal outcomes, compared with dexamethAsone, and it may be in the best interest of neonates to receive betameth asone rather than dexamETHasone when available.
BookDOI

Improving Birth Outcomes: Meeting the Challenge in the Developing World

TL;DR: Factor in the increased challenges of serving the Medicaid population, which is generally sicker with more behavioral issues and psychosocial barriers than the commercial population, and the complexities and costs rise exponentially.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decline in Sepsis-associated Neonatal and Infant Deaths in the United States, 1979 Through 1994

TL;DR: Despite declines in the overall sepsis-related mortality among newborns, racial and regional gaps in mortality persisted over the 16-year study period, and future efforts to reduce the incidence of sepsi-associated deaths will depend on targeting higher risk populations and reducing prematurity.
