PREMATURITY

The Lancet, 1979
Perinatal epidemiologists no longer speak much of "prematurity". Instead the World Health Organization recommends that infants born before 37 completed weeks of gestation should be designated "preterm" and those of birthweight less than 2500 g "low birthweight".

Outcome of prematurity and retinopathy of prematurity

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 1996
Retinopathy of prematurity is a disease that manifests soon after birth in the premature infant and may lead to a lifelong disability. More infants at risk for developing the retinopathy are surviving, and the ophthalmologist must be aware of possible vision abnormalities, such as decreased acuity, strabismus, nystagmus, retinal scarring, and retinal ...

Retinopathy of prematurity in extremely premature infants

Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2009
The incidence and severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely premature infants have not been reported since publication of the Early Treatment of ROP study results. The survival rate of these infants continues to increase. We sought to determine the characteristics of ROP in a group of surviving infants

Premature labor and premature rupture of the membranes

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1978
Abstract The effects of prolonged rupture of membranes upon the outcome of the mother and the fetus remain a problem in obstetrics. In an attempt to correlate the time interval between premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) and the onset of labor prior to term and maternal and perinatal outcome, a retrospective study was done in patients admitted ...

Temporal Profile of Retinopathy of Prematurity in Extremely Premature Compared to Premature Infants

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 2019
Purpose: To compare the time course of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in premature (≥ 28 to 34 weeks' gestational age) and extremely premature (< 28 weeks' gestational age) infants. Methods: This study was a retrospective single-center chart review that included 582 eyes (122 ...

Apnoea of prematurity

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2004
Idiopathic apnoea of prematurity is a common and troublesome disorder which requires therapeutic intervention to avoid potential morbidity in premature infants who require neonatal intensive care. Although the definition of apnoea is inconsistent, this condition has been defined most widely as cessation of breathing in excess of 15 seconds duration ...

Prematurity/Extreme Prematurity

2010
More than 25,000 newborns are preterm in the USA each year and many require surgical procedures. The common physiologic derangements seen in preterm newborns as well as the anesthetic considerations these morbidities warrant are discussed. Important general details of the perioperative care of preterm newborns such as fluid administration, glucose ...

Premature Menopause

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2015
A heterogeneous disorder, premature menopause is not an uncommon entity, affecting approximately 1% of women younger than 40 years. Multisystem implications are recognized as sequelae to the premature deprivation of ovarian steroids, posing unique health-related challenges in this population.

Prediction of prematurity

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1996
Preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. A poor understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of spontaneous preterm labor and preterm premature rupture of membranes has limited our ability to identify those women at highest risk for spontaneous preterm birth. There is increasing evidence that inflammation of the upper
