Neonatal Candidiasis Among Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants: Risk Factors, Mortality Rates, and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes at 18 to 22 Months

TL;DR: In multivariate analysis of risk factors on day of life 3, birth weight, cephalosporins, gender, and lack of enteral feeding were associated with development of candidiasis, and delayed catheter removal was associated with increased death and NDI rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of H2-blocker therapy and higher incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants.

TL;DR: Data support the hypothesis that gastric pH level may be a factor in the pathogenesis of NEC and H2-blocker therapy was associated with higher rates of NEC, in agreement with a previous randomized trial of acidification of infant feeds that resulted in a decreased incidence of NEC.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Association of Third-Generation Cephalosporin Use and Invasive Candidiasis in Extremely Low Birth-Weight Infants

TL;DR: Broad-spectrum antibiotics use was associated with candidiasis for individual infants and antibiotic practice differences are possible contributors to center variation in candidiasis risk.

TL;DR: This report focuses on safety and NICU deaths by marginal comparisons of 72 hours' vs 120 hours' duration and 33.5°C for 72 hours did not reduce NICU death, and among neonates who were full-term with moderate or severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, longer cooling, deeper cooling, or both compared with hypothermia at 33.3°C.
