Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic Syndrome in Childhood: Association With Birth Weight, Maternal Obesity, and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
TL;DR: Analysis of insulin resistance at 11 years in a multivariate logistic regression revealed that childhood obesity and the combination of LGA status and maternal GDM were associated with insulin resistance, with odds ratios of 4.3 and 4.4 (95% CI: 1.5–74.4), respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurodevelopmental and growth impairment among extremely low-birth-weight infants with neonatal infection.
Barbara J. Stoll,Nellie I. Hansen,Ira Adams-Chapman,Avroy A. Fanaroff,Susan R. Hintz,Betty R. Vohr,Rosemary D. Higgins +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that neonatal infections among ELBW infants are associated with poor neurodevelopmental and growth outcomes in early childhood and novel interventions to improve these outcomes can be explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth in the neonatal intensive care unit influences neurodevelopmental and growth outcomes of extremely low birth weight infants.
Richard A. Ehrenkranz,Anna M. Dusick,Betty R. Vohr,Linda L. Wright,Lisa A. Wrage,W. Kenneth Poole +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that growth velocity during an ELBW infant’s NICU hospitalization exerts a significant, and possibly independent, effect on neurodevelopmental and growth outcomes at 18 to 22 months’ corrected age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurodevelopmental and Functional Outcomes of Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network, 1993–1994
Betty R. Vohr,Linda L. Wright,Anna M. Dusick,Lisa Mele,Joel Verter,Jean J. Steichen,Neal P. Simon,Dee C. Wilson,Sue Broyles,Charles R. Bauer,Virginia Delaney-Black,Kimberly Yolton,Barry E. Fleisher,Lu Ann Papile,Michael Kaplan +14 more
TL;DR: ELBW infants are at significant risk of neurologic abnormalities, developmental delays, and functional delays at 18 to 22 months' corrected age, and factors significantly associated with decreased morbidity included increased birth weight, female gender, higher maternal education, and white race.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of the National Institutes of Health consensus definition of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Richard A. Ehrenkranz,Michele C. Walsh,Betty R. Vohr,Alan H. Jobe,Linda L. Wright,Avroy A. Fanaroff,Lisa A. Wrage,Kenneth Poole +7 more
TL;DR: As the severity of BPD identified by the consensus definition worsened, the incidence of those outcomes and of selected adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes increased in the infants who were seen at follow-up, and the consensus BPD definition was identified more accurately than other definitions.
