Early Maturation of Heart Rate Variability in Very Preterm Infants Depends on Neonatal Factors and Is Associated With Neurodevelopmental Risk

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigated central autonomic network maturation deviations using a previously defined machine learning model set to estimate a functional maturation age (FMA) from heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. We investigated whether these deviations were associated with maternal, fetal, perinatal, or postnatal complications and with

Elevated Serum Neurofilament Light Chain Is Associated With Systemic Inflammation in Very Preterm Infants

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Neurofilament light chain (NFL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) are known biomarkers of brain injury in adults, but their significance in very preterm (VPT) infants remains unclear. Given the strong link between inflammation, oxidative stress, and brain injury in this population, we investigated associations between NFL, GFAP ...
