Predicting Surfactant Need at Birth: Failed Validation of a Bedside Method Using Gastric Aspirates
ABSTRACT Aim To validate a prototype point‐of‐care (POC) test for the lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio by identifying the optimal L/S cut‐off for predicting surfactant need in preterm infants < 30 weeks' gestation using gastric aspirates (GAS) sampled at birth and to assess clinical feasibility.

ABSTRACT Aim Cardiorespiratory events such as apnea, bradycardia and hypoxemia are common in preterm infants and may contribute to an impaired neurodevelopmental outcome. We hypothesised a significant reduction in the incidence of hypoxemia, bradycardia and gastric residuals in the prone position.

ABSTRACT Aim Post‐infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) is a rare but severe chronic paediatric obstructive lung disease, characterised by the obliteration of small airways following severe lower respiratory tract infections. Epidemiological data in Europe remain limited. Methods This multicentre retrospective study examined the characteristics of

ABSTRACT Aim The COSGOD III trial was designed to guide oxygen delivery by cerebral near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in preterm neonates during the immediate transition after birth and showed a non‐significant increase of 4.3% in survival without cerebral injury compared to the control group.

Surviving Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants Have a Higher Risk of ROP in Sub‐Saharan Africa
ABSTRACT Aim Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) risk factors have been investigated in population‐based studies from most global regions. No such studies are available from Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), where improved neonatal care is increasing the survival of preterm infants at risk of ROP.
