The impact of neonatal morbidities on child growth and developmental outcomes in very low birth weight infants: a nationwide cohort study

Jung Ho Han et al.

Summary: Growth in preterm infants has long-term implications for neurodevelopmental outcomes, with some infants showing growth parameters below the 30-40th percentile of normal values at 5 years. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, sepsis, and periventricular leukomalacia were associated with growth restrictions in weight, height, and head circumference, highlighting the importance of regular checkups and early interventions for optimal growth in preterm infants.

Global incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia among extremely preterm infants: a systematic literature review

Csaba Siffel et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the global incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) among extremely preterm infants, including 103 eligible studies which showed a wide range of BPD incidence globally due to differences in gestational age, birth weight, and survival rates. Further research on factors beyond low gestational age affecting BPD incidence may help identify modifiable risks.

Prediction of In-Hospital Mortality After 24 Hours in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Hye Won Park et al.

Summary: This study developed a model for predicting in-hospital mortality of very low birth weight infants using perinatal factors, with good discrimination and calibration in both internal and external validation. The prediction formula could provide reliable predictions for counseling on in-hospital mortality of VLBW infants.

Growth failure of very low birth weight infants during the first 3 years: A Korean neonatal network

Joohee Lim et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate risk factors for growth failure in VLBW infants at 18-24 months and 36 months of age, and found that factors such as male sex, growth failure at birth, periventricular leukomalacia were associated with an increased risk of growth failure at follow-up1. Growth failure remains a concern, and close monitoring of growth and nutrition is recommended for VLBW infants with risk factors.

Identification of Growth Patterns in Low Birth Weight Infants from Birth to 5 Years of Age: Nationwide Korean Cohort Study

So Jin Yoon et al.

Summary: This study investigated the growth patterns of infants in Korea based on birth-weight groups and analyzed the impact of growth on development. Differences in growth parameters were found among different birth-weight groups, with significant correlations between growth parameters at 6 months and 60 months of age. Infants with growth below the 10th percentiles had a higher incidence of suspected developmental delay at 60 months, with birth weight, sex, and poor growth parameters as associated factors.

Growth of preterm very low birth weight infants discharged with weight of less than 1500grams

Yaser Abdallah et al.

Summary: Research found that slow birth weight recovery and growth failure were prevalent among very low birth weight preterm infants by 12 weeks post-discharge. Over a third of infants had severe microcephaly.

Evaluation of nutrition status of very preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units using different growth indicators

Na Wang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop indicators of nutrition status using growth data of very preterm infants during hospitalization. The change in weight z-score from birth to discharge, adjusted for birth weight z-score, gestational age, and time to regain birth weight, appears to be the most accurate indicator for evaluating the quality of nutrition in the NICU.

Survival and Morbidities in Infants with Birth Weight Less than 500 g: a Nationwide Cohort Study

Ji Hye Hwang et al.

Summary: The survival rate of infants with a birth weight < 500 g was 28%, with main causes of death being cardiopulmonary and neurologic issues within the first week of life. Among surviving infants, there were high rates of morbidity requiring further improvement in treatment.

Mortality and Morbidities according to Time of Birth in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants

Misun Yang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed data of 3,220 infants born in Korea between 2013-2017, weighing <1,000g and born at 23-34 weeks. It found that in certain neonatal intensive care units, infants born during off-hours had a higher early mortality rate. Further efforts to improve overall NICU quality are needed to address this issue.
