Pathogenesis and Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1983
Sir .—I hesitate to criticize the article "A Model for Studying the Pathogenesis and Incidence of Low-Birth-Weight Infants" (Journal1983;137: 323-327) by such an expert as Dr Miller, and the related editorial "Continuing Challenges in Reduction of Neonatal Mortality" (Journal1983;137: 321-322) by Dr Avery.

Enteral feeding of low birth weight infants

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2002
There is sufficient evidence at present to support early enteral feeding of low birth weight (LBW) neonates, including those who are sick or very preterm (< 30 weeks). Trophic feeding with human milk initiated within 48 hours of birth at 10-15 ml/kg/day improves later tolerance to graded increment of enteral feeding volumes without increased risk of ...

Postnatal Weight Changes in Low Birth Weight Infants

Pediatrics, 1987
Postnatal body weight changes were assessed in 385 surviving infants with birth weights of less than 2,500 g. Body weight was measured daily between birth and 45 days of age. Infants were grouped according to 100-g birth weight categories, and mean body weight changes for each group were compared.

Oral feeding in low birth weight infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1997
To gain a better understanding of the development of sucking behavior in low birth weight infants, the aims of this study were as follows: (1) to assess these infants' oral feeding performance when milk delivery was unrestricted, as routinely administered in nurseries, versus restricted when milk flow occurred only when the infant was sucking; (2) to ...

Transient cataracts in low-birth-weight infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1973
Transient lens opacities have been observed in 2.7 per cent of low-birth-weight infants during routine ophthalmologic evaluations for retrolental fibroplasia; the onset was estimated at age 16±4 days (mean±standard deviation) and the duration, 25±30 days.

Outcomes of Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants

Pediatrics, 1996
Background. Our goal was to determine the effects of recent changes in delivery room and neonatal care, including surfactant and dexamethasone therapy, on survival, neonatal morbidity, and 20-month neurodevelopmental outcome of infants with birth weights of less than 750 g. Methods. We compared the outcomes of 114 infants of 500 to 750 g

Management of extremely low‐birth‐weight infants

Acta Paediatrica, 1992
Better health care of women during pregnancy and delivery, improvement in neonatal intensive therapy and technology have led to a decrease in neonatal mortality and morbidity and to lower limits of birth weight and gestational age for survival. This paper refers to the management protocol used in the Department of Perinatal Pathology of the Provincial ...

Osteomalacia of Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1984
Neonatal osteomalacia has received scant attention in the orthopedic literature, despite a reported incidence of 13-32% in very-low-birth-weight infants. This retrospective study focused on the calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D metabolism of 10 surviving infants up to 28 weeks old born over a 30-month period.

Rehospitalization of Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1988
Very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants are at high risk of mortality, morbidity, and rehospitalization in the first years of life, but little information is available to predict which VLBW infants are likely to require rehospitalization. This study describes a sample of 79 VLBW infants cared for in a charity hospital.

Hyperkalemia in very low birth weight infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1992
To assess the frequency and pathogenesis of hyperkalemia in the very low birth weight infant.Infants who weighed less than 1000 gm at birth were prospectively entered into the study within 12 hours of birth. Potential risk factors for hyperkalemia were assessed.
