Summary: The study identified distinct neurodevelopmental profiles in children born <30 weeks postmenstrual age, with majority having normal development and a smaller percentage showing elevated behavioral problems. Child-centered analysis techniques can provide valuable information for targeted intervention strategies in high-risk children, integrating across multiple domains to understand different types of neurodevelopmental impairments.

Summary: This study evaluated changes in mortality and significant neurodevelopmental impairments in extremely premature infants born at <29 weeks of gestation in Canadian neonatal intensive care units between 2009 and 2016. The results showed that the composite rates of death or significant NDI, as well as rates of visual and hearing impairments, were significantly lower in infants born between 2013 and 2016 compared to those born between 2009 and 2012.

Summary: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18 months of corrected age for late preterm infants born at 34 and 35 gestational weeks, and factors predicting neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) were elucidated. The study found no significant difference in neurodevelopmental outcomes between LPI-34 and LPI-35 at 18 months of corrected age. Patients with severe hyperbilirubinemia and/or intraventricular hemorrhage should be considered at high risk for developing NDI.

Summary: This study indicates the need for adjusted FT4 values in preterm infants based on gestational age, and ultrasound thyroid imaging may be helpful in evaluating suspected thyroid disorders.

Summary: This study found no association between Apgar scores and long-term outcomes in infants born extremely preterm (EPT). This may be due to high interobserver variability in Apgar scoring, poorer response to resuscitation after birth among EPT infants, and the influence of more deleterious exposures in the neonatal intensive care unit or socioeconomic factors on outcomes during the first 5 years of life.

Summary: This study aims to assess if maternal betamethasone administration at 34-35 weeks can accelerate neonatal amplitude integrated EEG (aEEG) maturation. The results showed that betamethasone-exposed infants had significant changes in lower border voltage and span of electrical activity. However, further investigation is needed to understand the broader span.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the impact of NICU admission on inpatient and outpatient medical outcomes for low-acuity infants born at 35 weeks' gestation. The results showed that NICU admission was associated with longer length of stay, decreased exclusive breast milk feeding at 6 months, but lower readmission risk.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between neighborhood risk and neurodevelopmental impairment in preterm infants. The results showed that infants living in high-risk neighborhoods had a greater risk of NDI, cognitive delay, and language delay. Breast milk at discharge was more common in low-risk neighborhoods and had a protective effect.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the impact of pain on neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants born preterm. Retrospective data analysis was conducted on preterm infants with a gestational age between 23 and 32 weeks, who were assessed using pain scales and examined at 1 year of age. The results showed significant differences in mental and motor development between the group with pain and the group without. Proper pain management is crucial to reduce the risk of poor neurodevelopmental outcomes in these vulnerable patients.

Summary: This study found no association between maternal age and ND/sNDI rates among Canadian preterm infants < 29 weeks GA. Although there were some differences in maternal characteristics across age groups, after controlling for confounders, no association between maternal age and death or NDI/sNDI was observed.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the rate and trend of active treatment in a population-based cohort of infants born at 22-25 weeks of gestation in California between 2011 and 2018. The rate of active treatment at 23 weeks of gestation increased during the study period, while there was no significant change at 22 weeks. Several maternal and infant factors were associated with the likelihood of active treatment.

Summary: A retrospective study on 165 preterm infants found that preeclampsia complicated with maternal renal dysfunction and delivery at <30 weeks of gestation were independent risk factors for poor neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Summary: Maternal milk feeding after preterm birth is associated with improved cognitive, academic, and behavioral outcomes in school-age children, including higher IQ, better academic achievement, and reduced ADHD symptoms.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between morphine exposure in the neonatal period and neurodevelopment at 2 and 5 years of age while controlling for potential confounders. The study found that morphine exposure in infants born preterm is associated with poorer Full-Scale IQ and Performance IQ at 5 years. Individualized morphine administration is advised in infants born extremely preterm.

Summary: This study analysed the trends in thyroid function tests in preterm infants, evaluated the frequency of thyroid dysfunction, and identified factors that influence thyroid function. A total of 535 infants were included in the study. Thyroid hormone levels vary with gestational and postnatal age, and the overall frequency of thyroid dysfunction is 50.3%. Transient hypothyroxinaemia of prematurity is significantly associated with lower birth weight and gestational age. Congenital hypothyroidism is significantly associated with lower birth weight, 5 min Apgar score, and dopamine use.
