Journal ArticleDOI

Seetha Shankaran,Abbot R. Laptook,Richard A. Ehrenkranz,Jon E. Tyson,Scott A. McDonald,Edward F. Donovan,Avroy A. Fanaroff,W. Kenneth Poole,Linda L. Wright,Rosemary D. Higgins,Neil N. Finer,Waldemar A. Carlo,Shahnaz Duara,William Oh,C. Michael Cotten,David K. Stevenson,Barbara J. Stoll,James A. Lemons,Ronnie Guillet,Alan H. Jobe +19 more
TL;DR: Whole-body hypothermia reduces the risk of death or disability in infants with moderate or severe hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy and there was no increase in major disability among survivors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neonatal Candidiasis Among Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants: Risk Factors, Mortality Rates, and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes at 18 to 22 Months
Daniel K. Benjamin,Barbara J. Stoll,Avory A. Fanaroff,Scott A. McDonald,William Oh,Rosemary D. Higgins,Shahnaz Duara,Kenneth Poole,Abbot R. Laptook,Ronald N. Goldberg +9 more
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.
Ronnie Guillet,Barbara J. Stoll,C. Michael Cotten,Marie G. Gantz,Scott A. McDonald,W. Kenneth Poole,Dale L. Phelps +6 more
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
C. Michael Cotten,Scott A. McDonald,Barbara J. Stoll,Ronald N. Goldberg,Kenneth Poole,Daniel K. Benjamin +5 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
