An Epidemiologic Study of Very Low and Very Very Low Birth Weight Infants
Clinics in Perinatology, 1986VVLBW infants constitute only 1 per cent of the total births, but account for 60 per cent of the NMR and 40 per cent of the IMR. While improved technology and refinements in care continue to improve survival for VVLBW infants, questions regarding the lower limits of viability must be considered.

MALFORMATIONS IN INFANTS OF VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT
Medical Journal of Australia, 1977The incidence of lethal, serious and trivial malformations was determined in a consecutive series of 675 infants who weightd 1500 g or less (very low birth weight infants). All patients were born in one maternity hospital. Most of the 169 survivors were followed until at least five years of age.

Breastfeeding of Very Low Birth Weight Infants
Journal of Human Lactation, 1998This research examines the rate of breastfeeding among mothers of very low birth weight infants (VLBW, <1500 grams), and the correlates of breast milk pumping and transition to nursing at the breast. Eighty-two mothers and their 69 singleton and 21 twin VLBW infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (January 1-June 30, 1995) of an urban ...

Delivery of the Very Low Birth Weight Infant
Clinics in Perinatology, 1981Very low birth weight infants are almost always the result of preterm labor, which is the most important problem in modem perinatal medicine. Response of the preterm fetus to labor and delivery, management of preterm labor and delivery, and the establishment of limits for aggressive perinatal care in very low birth weight infants are discussed.

Temperament in Very Low Birth Weight Infants
Nursing Research, 1986This project compared the temperament of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants to that of full-term infants at 6 and 12 months of age, assessed patterns of change in temperament from 6 to 12 months, and investigated effects of the neonatal experience on manifestations of temperament in VLBW babies.

Feeding the Very Low-Birth-Weight Infant
Pediatrics In Review, 1993Unfortunately, premature birth occurs commonly in the United States. Improving the survival of very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants depends in large part upon understanding the physiologic capabilities of their immature organ systems and providing appropriate support as they mature.

Rickets in very low-birth-weight infants
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1980THE ASSOCIATION of rickets with prematurity has received increased attention in the past ten years because of the improved survival rates and increasing numbers of observations in very low-birth-weight infants. '-7 Calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D deficiency have been implicated as causative factors in these infants, many of whom have illnesses ...

Improved outcome for very low birth weight multiple births
Pediatric Neurology, 2005This study describes time trends for very low birth weight multiple births in relation to very low birth weight singletons. Two cohorts of very low birth weight (less than 1250 gm) children recruited between 1983-85 (cohort 1, n = 115) and 1992-94 (cohort 2, n = 144) were compared.
