Introduction to Low Birthweight Infants

What is/are Low Birthweight Infants?

Low Birthweight Infants - It is more frequent in preterm infants, particularly in very low birthweight infants. ^[1] Neurally adjusted ventilatory assistance (NAVA) can overcome technical difficulties with synchronizing noninvasive ventilation breaths with the patient, a modality often used in very low birthweight infants (VLBW) with apnea of prematurity (AOP). ^[2] BackgroundKangaroo mother care is a comprehensive intervention given for all newborns especially for premature and low birthweight infants. ^[3] However, with the increased survival of very low birthweight infants, the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the primary respiratory morbidity of prematurity, has also increased. ^[4] Study design: The original data obtained from the nationwide Finnish medical birth register of extremely preterm and low birthweight infants born during 2005-2013 were analyzed. ^[5] Systemic candidiasis in extremely low birthweight infants receiving topical petrolatum ointment for care: a case control study. ^[6] A total of 2,463 infants with eligible birth defects and 2,118 extremely preterm or low birthweight infants were identified. ^[7] STUDY DESIGN We included very low birthweight infants born 2010-2016 in the population-based California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative who survived to discharge home. ^[8] The study aimed to assess factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding in low birthweight infants under six months of age in 64 Brazilian municipalities. ^[9] Objective We determined thromboelastographic (TEG) profiles of healthy very low birthweight infants (VLBWIs) of the day of birth and at set intervals during their first month. ^[10] [OBJECTIVES] Low birthweight infants caused by fetal malnutrition acquire a thrifty phenotype, according to the development of health and disease (DOHaD) theory. ^[11] We captured bronchiolitis diagnoses in term, non-low birthweight infants' first 12 months using linked Medicaid data. ^[12] Purpose: Recent reports indicate that early antibiotic exposure may worsen the severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very low birthweight infants. ^[13] The PHELBI trial did not identify the optimal target range of PaCO2, and data suggest that permissive hypercapnia does not grant lung protection in extremely low birthweight infants. ^[14] The score was applied retrospectively to 39 NICUs caring for 58 272 very low birthweight infants from 2000 to 2014. ^[15] Extremely low birthweight infants often present with mild neurodevelopmental impairments in gross motor function and postural stability in early childhood. ^[16] Reducing the risk of primary noninvasive ventilation failure in extremely low birthweight infants is linked to reducing bronchopulmonary dysplasia. ^[17] aerogenes infection result in a high mortality rate among very low birthweight infants. ^[18] Comparable reports in very low birthweight infants range between 5% and 30% for LOS and 1. ^[19]
