This paper explores the pathways of the determinants of unfavourable birth outcomes, such as premature birth, the size of the baby at birth, and Caesarean section deliveries, in Kenya using graphical log-linear chain models. The results show that a number of factors that do not have direct associations with unfavourable birth outcomes contribute to these outcomes indirectly through intermediate...
As there have been conflicting reports about intelligence in children of very low birth weight, advantage was taken of an opportunity to study the intelligence of 1,066 children weighing 4 lb. or less at birth who were the subjects of an investigation into the aetiology of cerebral palsy and other disorders* (McDonald, 1962, 1963). The many surveys of the intelligence of premature children were...
Copyright © 2007 Massachusetts Medical Society. In 1967, northway et al. first described a new chronic respiratory disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, that developed in premature infants exposed to mechanical ventilation and oxygen supplementation.1 Two decades later, the same authors found that clinically significant respiratory symptoms and functional abnormalities persisted into adolescence...
BACKGROUND Our program of research focuses on thermal and circulatory stability in extremely premature infants. In prior studies, we found that infants have long periods of time in which foot temperature (FT) is higher than central temperature. We thus wanted to determine whether blood flow in the foot is increased when FT is elevated. Perfusion index (PI) can be used as a clinical indicator of...
BACKGROUND Term infants who are small for gestational age appear prone to the development of insulin resistance during childhood. We hypothesized that insulin resistance, a marker of type 2 diabetes mellitus, would be prevalent among children who had been born prematurely, irrespective of whether they were appropriate for gestational age or small for gestational age. METHODS Seventy-two healt...
The aim of this study was to survey multiple birth data and to analyze the recent trends of multiple births and its consequences on perinatal problems in Korea from 1991 to 2008. Data were obtained from the Korean Statistical Information Service. The total number of multiple births showed increasing trends. The multiple birth rate was maintained within less than 10.0 for the decade from 1981 to...
Background & Aims: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is common in premature neonates and can cause adverse complications such as intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in neonates. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of clinical criteria in diagnosing of PDA in premature neonate. Methods |& Materials: This study was ...
The risk of preterm delivery (< 37 weeks of gestation) is approximately nine times higher in women with multifetal pregnancies than in women with singleton pregnancies. However, it is possible that the risk will vary according to gestational week. To assess the risk of premature birth within 1 week by gestational age among multifetal pregnancies and compare the estimated risk with that of singl...
Background: Preterm birth is one of the most remarkable reasons for neonatal and infant mortality and morbidity across the world. This study aimed to determine risk factors of premature infants in the rural area of Azadshahr city, Iran. Materials and Methods: Acase-control study was conducted on all premature and low birth neonates (less than 37 weeks and weight less than 2500 grams). Data were...
