Lung Function in Very Low Birth Weight Adults

Pediatrics, 2015
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Lung function attained in young adulthood is 1 of the strongest predictors of obstructive airways disease in later life. Adults born preterm at very low birth weight (VLBW; <1500 g) who have experienced bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) have reduced lung function.

Redox Status in Very-Low Birth-Weight Newborns

Neonatology, 2004
Inborn metabolic diseases, such as disorders in pyruvate metabolism, in gluconeogenesis or in the respiratory chain, may present with lactic acidosis in newborn infants. A simple tool to screen for the efficacy of mitochondrial oxidation reduction activity is the detection of the redox status through simultaneous measurements of plasma lactate ...

Temperament in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Nursing Research, 1986
This 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.

Postural development in very low birth weight and normal birth weight infants

Early Human Development, 1990
In this study the seven postural responses selected by Vojta to evaluate neuromotor development were applied to 68 very low birth weight (VLBW) (greater than 1500 g) infants and to 28 healthy infants of normal birth weight (less than 2500 g). Of the 68 VLBW infants, 41 were small for gestational age and 27 appropriate for gestational age.

“Minitouch” treatment of very low‐birth‐weight infants

Acta Paediatrica, 1993
In a cohort study with historical controls of non‐asphyxiated very low‐birth‐weight infants (birth weight ≤ 1500 g and gestational age <33 completed weeks), we evaluated the use of a “minitouch” regime for stabilization after birth and treatment of respiratory distress.

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.

Pulse Oximetry in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 2014
Pulse oximetry has become ubiquitous and is used routinely during neonatal care. Emerging evidence highlights the continued uncertainty regarding definition of the optimal range to target pulse oximetry oxygen saturation levels in very low birth weight infants.

Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants-Reply.

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1989
In Reply .—Dr Hack's first point, regarding providing hospitalization data on all very-low-birth-weight infants, including those not seen on follow-up, does not pertain to the interpretation of our study results. As stated in the report, the purpose of our study was to assess growth differences at followup between two cohorts of infants with similar ...

The Very Low Birth Weight Fetus

1993
In 1860, two hundred fifty years after Richard HI alluded to the problems of prematurity, a British pediatrician, W.J. Little, provided the first clinical documentation of the very low birth weight (VLBW) infant (birth weight < 1500 g).1 Despite significant improvements in perinatal and neonatal care the mortality, cost, ethical dilemmas, and handicaps
