Survival of Premature and Low Birth Weight Infants: A Multicenter, Prospective, Cohort Study in Iran
ABSTRACTBackground: The survival rate of preterm and low-birth-weight (LBW) infants depends on various factors such as birth weight, gestational age, and quality of care. The present study aimed at evaluating the survival rate of preterm and LBW infants, predictive factors, and the risk of mortality in three training hospitals of Mashhad and Tabriz cities.Methods: This prospective, cohort study...
متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubinometry in preterm infants receiving phototherapy.
The accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements obtained with a Bilicheck device in 70 preterm neonates before phototherapy and during phototherapy from the exposed and unexposed skin of the forehead (under the eye patch) was evaluated by comparing the TcB with the total serum bilirubin (TSB) that was performed within +/- 30 minutes of the TcB measurements. The correlation and propo...
متن کاملHypothyroxinemia in extremely low birth weight infants
Hypothyroxinemia of prematurity (HOP) is a transient alteration in thyroid hormone availabilityfound in more than half of extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW) born at less than 30 weeks [1]. HOP is characterized by very low total T4 (TT4) and free T4 (FT4) levels with a normal or low thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH); TT4 and FT4 show a nadir at 7-10 days of life and they may remained low ...
متن کاملMinerals and extremely low birth weight infants
The 80% of bone mineralisation occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy. The daily fetal requirement is 310 mg of calcium and 170 mg of phosphorus [1]. The bone mineral density (BMD) correlates positively with gestational age, weight and length [2]. At birth, extremely premature infants (ELBWI)canpresent hypocalcaemia because of interruption of the maternal calcium supply, high level of calci...
متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubin after phototherapy in term and preterm infants.
OBJECTIVES To compare transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) readings with total serum bilirubin (TSB) after phototherapy, estimating the range of TcB where confirmation through blood sampling can be avoided. METHODS Preterm and term neonates receiving in-hospital phototherapy underwent TcB measurements (device JM-103, TcB) alongside routine TSB before and after treatment. We calculated time-dependen...
