Fungal Colonization in the Very Low Birth Weight Infant

Pediatrics, 1986
In the neonate, fungal infections result in significant morbidity and mortality. For very low birth weight (<1,500 g) infants, we prospectively determined the fungal colonization rate to be 26.7%. In one third of infants with fungal colonies, mucocutaneous candidiasis developed, and in 7.7%, systemic disease developed.

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.

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.

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,

MALFORMATIONS IN INFANTS OF VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT

Medical Journal of Australia, 1977
The 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, 1998
This 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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
