TLDR
The current increase in LCC in Japan suggests that the principal trigger is related to recent trends in neonatal medicine and/or newly introduced treatments for preterm infants, but the pathophysiology has not been fully elucidated.
Abstract
Late-onset circulatory collapse (LCC) is a refractory hypotension occurring after the early neonatal period (>day 7), in very low-birthweight infants. Typically, infants stabilized within the early neonatal period develop sudden onset of circulatory collapse after the early neonatal period. The underlying pathophysiology of LCC is considered to be relative adrenal insufficiency, which is well known in Japan, but is not widely accepted in North America or Europe. The current increase in LCC in Japan suggests that the principal trigger is related to recent trends in neonatal medicine and/or newly introduced treatments for preterm infants, but the pathophysiology has not been fully elucidated. In this review, based on current knowledge regarding LCC, the pathophysiology is discussed.

Non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist versus nasal intermittent positive-pressure ventilation in preterm infants born before 30 weeks’ gestation

TL;DR: Non‐invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV‐NAVA), a mode of non-invasive ventilation controlled by diaphragmatic electrical activity, may be superior to other NIV as a respiratory support after extubation in preterm infants, but no report has compared NIV‐ NAVA with other Niv methods.

Neonatal factors related to center variation in the incidence of late-onset circulatory collapse in extremely preterm infants.

TL;DR: PVL, ROP, HFOV use and RBC transfusion were found to be correlated with the center variation in the incidence of LCC, and the cause of the cause was examined using the standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and individual factors.

Late-Onset Circulatory Collapse and Risk of Cerebral Palsy in Extremely Preterm Infants.

TL;DR: Late-onset circulatory collapse may be a relatively common event occurring in extremely preterm infants and an independent risk factor for CP at 3 years of age.

Early surfactant administration with brief ventilation vs. selective surfactant and continued mechanical ventilation for preterm infants with or at risk for respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: Two treatment strategies in preterm infants with, or at risk for, RDS are compared: early surfactant administration with brief mechanical ventilation (less than one hour) followed by extubation, vs later, selective surfactants administration, continued mechanical ventilation andextubation from low respiratory support.

Effects of thyroxine supplementation on neurologic development in infants born at less than 30 weeks' gestation

TL;DR: In infants born before 30 weeks' gestation, thyroxine supplementation does not improve the developmental outcome at 24 months, and neither mental nor psychomotor scores differed significantly between study groups at any time.
