Breastfeeding Trends Among Very Low Birth Weight, Low Birth Weight, and Normal Birth Weight Infants

Journal of Pediatrics, 2018
To examine the change in breastfeeding behaviors over time, among low birth weight (LBW), very low birth weight (VLBW), and normal birth weight (NBW) infants using nationally representative US data.Univariate statistics and bivariate logistic models were examined using the Early Child Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (2001) and National Study of ...

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.

Management and Outcomes of Very Low Birth Weight

Obstetric Anesthesia Digest, 2008
With increasing numbers of extremely premature infants surviving, the outcome for these infants has generated much interest and controversy. This article reviews recent progress in the management and outcomes of some of the most common conditions affecting infants with very low birth weight (1500 g or less) and extremely low birth weight (1000 g or ...

Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1989
Sir .—In the January 1989 issue of AJDC , Georgieff et al 1 report on more aggressive early neonatal nutritional management, changes in cardiopulmonary management, and a lower incidence of chronic disease in 1986 compared with 1982. This has promoted earlier onset of, and a more rapid rate of, postnatal growth that extends to the first year of follow ...

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.

Nutrition in Very Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 1986
The VVLBW infant's limited nutritional reserves, high requirements for normal growth and development, and gastrointestinal immaturity pose a particularly challenging nutritional problem. Given the potential consequences of inadequate or inappropriate nutritional management, we are obligated to make nutrition a high priority in the overall care of VVLBW

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.

Outcome of Very Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 1986
This review of the literature and selected unpublished data documents normal early outcome in 50 to 81 per cent of tiny infants. Educational outcome described by a few studies is less encouraging, with only 32 to 36 per cent considered normal. Each study investigated the contribution of different perinatal, environmental, or social variables, therefore

Physiology of Infants With Very Low Birth Weight

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2000
Advances in neonatal management have resulted in dramatic increases in survival in infants with birth weights less than 1,500 g. Extensive basic science and clinical research has led to a more comprehensive understanding of the physiological differences between the VLBW infant and larger neonates. Meticulous attention must be paid to appropriate fluid,

An Epidemiologic Study of Very Low and Very Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 1986
VVLBW 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.
