The care of preterm infants with birth weight below 1250 g: risk-adjusted quality benchmarking as part of validating a caseload-based management system.
BACKGROUND In Germany, controversy currently surrounds the contention that the quality of care for preterm infants weighing less than 1250 g is best assured by requiring that centers treat a minimum of 30 such cases per year. METHODS A risk-adjusted model was developed on the basis of neonatal data from 7405 preterm infants treated in German centers, and the effect of caseload on risk-adjuste...
متن کاملPreterm Delivery of Low-Birth-Weight Infants
Preterm delivery of low-birth-weight infants (PLBW) remains a significant public health issue and a leading cause of neonatal death and long-term neurodevelopmental disturbances and health problems. Recent epidemiological and microbiological–immunological studies have suggested that periodontal disease may be an independent risk factor for PLBW. Postulated mechanisms include translocation of pe...
متن کاملLongitudinal evaluation of energy expenditure in preterm infants with birth weight less than 1000 g.
The aim of the present study was to obtain serial values of O2 consumption (VO2), CO2 production (VCO2) and energy expenditure (EE) in healthy but extremely-low-birth-weight infants (birth weight <1000 g), during the first 5 weeks after birth. A total of seventeen spontaneously breathing and appropriate-for-gestational-age (birth weight and body length above the 10th and below the 90th percenti...
متن کاملPreterm Birth of Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants
Approximately 13% of births in the United States are preterm, defined as occurring before 37 weeks of gestation. This results in more than 540,000 infants a year born prematurely. In other words, one out of every 8 infants is born premature. Even more disturbing is that despite advances in neonatal and perinatal medicine, the incidence of prematurity has increased by 36% since the 1980’s. Over ...
متن کاملMotor Developmental Status of Moderately Low Birth Weight Preterm Infants
OBJECTIVE Motor development is frequently reported to be impaired in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, but little is known about the moderately low birth weight (MLBW) infants. The aim of this study was to investigate whether MLBW preterm infants present developmental delay. METHODS In a historical cohort study, 18±2 month-old infants with a history of low birth weight (LBW) were identifi...
