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".

AbstractApnea of prematurity is a significant problem due to immaturity of the central neural control circuitry responsible for integrating afferent input and central rhythm. In this review, we provide an overview of the pathogenesis of apnea of prematurity—including our current understanding of the role that afferent input to the brain stem plays in ...

Prematurity/Extreme Prematurity
2010More 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 ...

This article briefly reviews the history of ROP followed by a discussion of the pathogenesis of this complex disorder. We describe the International Classification System for ROP and identify risk factors and screening recommendations. Finally, we discuss some of the measures that have been used in an attempt to both prevent and treat ROP.

Retinopathy of prematurity in extremely premature infants
Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2009The 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

Oligonephropathy of Prematurity
American Journal of Perinatology, 2011With improved health care, the number of premature babies who survive to adulthood is expected to increase. The objective of this review is to determine whether premature infants have an increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). A literature review was performed by searching PubMed (U.S.

Retinopathy of Prematurity [PDF]
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2010 Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) occurs due to abnormal proliferation of retinal vessels. The most important risk factors which predispose to development of ROP include oxygen therapy, anemia needing blood transfusion, sepsis and apnea. Very low birth weight neonates, those born at ≤ 32 week of gestation and other preterm neonates with risk factors ...

In addition to the question of whether the postnatal fall in hemoglobin of premature infants is a physiologic event, several other problems considered are: the lowest level of hemoglobin which should be permitted before transfusion becomes necessary, institution of iron supplementation, and the role of vitamin E deficiency in the anemia of prematurity.

Premature labor and premature rupture of the membranes
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1978Abstract 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 ...

VERY nurse knows that, in an emergency, she may have to assist with the birth and immediate care of a premature baby. Relatively few nurses, however, feel competent to do this. In a hospital where there are standing orders, equipment, and well-defined techniques, the nurse is on familiar ground. In an emergency, however, in the interim before organized
